Default Black splitter material?

I'm looking for some black L-shaped rubber or silicone material to make a front chin spoiler. It needs to be about 75mm x 30mm and I plan on fixing through the short leg of the L into the underside of the front bumper. I have searched the 'net and can't find anything like. Can anyone recommend anywhere I may get some? Ta.

The Home Depot spoiler is very popular in the States, I tried but couldn't find anyone who would send it to the UK

You can buy a very similar item from this ebay vendor and they ship to the UK, etc.

I got it from the ebay shop. Took nearly two weeks to come but at £23 all in you can't complain! If you follow his instructions, it's real easy. You need some top quality double sided tape, some 1/2" long self tappers with medium sized washers, a drill and a screwdriver. I trial fitted it to see where the best fit was and then stuck it on with the tape. I drilled through the splitter and the bumper at about 150mm centres and closer where the change in direct of the front spoiler is. Then just screw in place, clean with black plastic cleaner and admire. Simples. Got my dads Audi A4 to do next week!

that's cool, can't lower my suspension as i will catch my lip, but adding this would lower the front edge a bit, and wouldn't suffer too much from damage if it did catch..............

There are some pictures on his eBay site showing people doing that. Not my cup of tea but some folk may like it.

I found a nice pic hidden in that link above.
By clicking on one of the thumbnails, this came up.
