The only thing i would say about running a fibreglass rep splitter is that you will become paranoid about speed humps etc. They can be a bit of a pain to be honest.

RS500 mate, thats what i'm going to change to. Although with the laguna ones you don't have to worry about catching them so much.

The laguna one does look nice I did have one on mine but I would go for the rs500 or the Rouse splitter as they are a genuine ford item and would look better by the way the paint job looks stunning here’s a picture of one on.

Never, ever listen to the voices in your head.
Let the pics do the talking:



Nuff said.
Thats perfect as it is. Extra spoilers will only mess up the lines of the car.

I have a genuine ford original Sapphire Front Splitter in my workshop if your interested. Brand New and still in Ford Packaging. Never been on a car. I ordered it just before I sold the car, but never got it fitted. When I purchased it from ford (2 years ago) I was told that there was only five left in stock in the UK. So the chances are that they're no longer available.

Jim, I think Rod sold one on here not so long ago he stated in his advert that they were no longer available from Ford then

Pretty sure you can't get them from Ford any more.

Would sell mine, but as it's new and still in it's packaging, I'd like to see it go to someone who would put it on a car that deserves it. (Call me old fashioned........LOL).

Rouse or RS500 give the car the aggressive look, as it should have come from the factory.

Still like the originals though.

Laguna's NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, why on earth anyone does this is beyond me, so chavy and naff looking.

why put fibreglass shit on the front? it will only break and look crap. if i could get a genuine 500 one i'd put it on,but until then i'll stick to my CRAP laguna. looks 100 times better than a rouse, i think they look manky

standard or rouse all day long mate

laguna look ok but not rite, as your car is so clean id stick with a standard one

and trying to find a rs 500 splitter and then having to chop it up to fit a saf would be pointless, when a rouse looks just as good

and all rouse stuff is fibreglass as standard, but unless you hit a kerb it wont crap and is very strong

and with being fibreglass, if you do hit it, it can be easily repaired

But in my opinion they dont. i think they look horrid. cant suit everybody eh?
plus my laguna splitter is always scraping things so i have to have some kind of rubber splitter or i'd be fucked

A Laguna splitter is for a Laguna, not a Saph. Looks total shit IMO!
