Thanks for replying on this one

Mine is not an official ecos bumper and is a fibreglass rep so really the splitter is there to act as a barrier to prevent damage to the paint and hopefuly further cracks. However I do see your point that catching the lower splitter is likely to only cause damaged to the rest of the splitter if you caught it as you describe. I think it might be suit able in preventing the damaged to the paint but at the same time i dont want to catch it and then snap the splitter again.

Maybe a rubber replica or something with a bit of flex would be a better bet. My dad works with plastics so he might be able to suggest a suitable material. maybe theres a market for such a product
