Default front lip disintegrated

I bought one of those front lips in the group buy end of last month,just did a bit of a high speed test run down the motorway as i've just sorted something with my brakes today and my front lip couldn't cope with the downforce load on it and snapped on one side and scraped along the floor.i knew it was a cheap fibreglass one but didn't expect it to do this.
Anyone else had any similar problems with fibreglass spoilers or lips???.just trying to find out if its common or a faulty one.i knew it would break easy if i caught the kerb but didn't expect this to happen.

DJ Vinyl Ritchie....... I once had a girlfriend whose lips disintegrated. I put it down to the fact it was 24 hrs post-op (gender re-configuration). Scary sight though

To be honest i think its gonna be scrap,it was only £80 in the group buy but even if he fixes it for free its probably only gonna happen again due to lack of reinforcement,i'm just trying to find one now thats made of something stronger,it's a replica of the tru v-lip for the blobeye but for the bugeye,really loved the look of it as it set the front end off loads.

Has Lord Shrek changed his username or is someone just copying his posting style??

Does anyone else see the similarities between the two of them?
