DO NOT fit grp for a splitter.

First off they crack, second the paint bubbles and third, WHEN, (not if), they pockmark, it shows white and looks awful.

Black pu all the way, unless you can get a genuine ABS one

def get pu plastic, has alot of movement and give for the times you accidently hit it on speed bumps etc and wont crack unless you hit something with alot of force, as said above grp or fibreglass first hit will crack or chip it and with movement it will get hair line cracks and then the paint will start to flake
