Front bib spoiler/splitter
My front splitter and bib spoiler argued with a speed bump, resulting in a slightly ripped apart spoiler and scratched splitter!!!!
Has anyone got a cheap replacement in the shed??????

maria, i bought a brand new one (the upper bit) and it has not driven anywhere yet - and it has started to go wobbly with the lower one bolted to it - i might have to leave the lower bit off all together

If it goes wobbly then simply set the stone deflector to the furthest out position for a while.This takes the wobbly bits away

If your car is the factory ride height and is damaged by a speed hump you can claim, there is a maximum height these humps can be
