Default Wrinkly Splitter

Now sorted bumper clips and hockeys sticks, so last question for sorting front end is has anyone else's splitter gone wrinkly?

If so can this be sorted, or do I need to try and get a new one? Not really had a proper look to see if it was how it was mounted or the actual splitter going wrinkly.

Cheers (again)

I think all std ones do this mate, even if you add extra fittings to it.

Thats why i'm going carbon again.

its usually the weight of the lower splitter that makes them go dimpled

the lower edge of my new upper part was quite wobbly out of the box...bolting it to the stiff lower part did in some ways even it out, but like u say , over time the extra weight deforms them more
