Is the laguna splitter off any particular model or year?

I know it's an old thread but no harm in Asking!,

I had a Laguna splitter for years, was great as it would flex if it caught.
Now put a 500 splitter on but cringe every time it scrapes

Think I've seen laguna splitters more on other cars than actual lagunas. Seemed to be the only part of them worth having.

Just spent hours trying to repair a fibreglass one which is very similar that my Son has on his Subaru Impreza, his car is low and he caught it on a kerb. the fibreglass shattered and left hundreds of splits which fucked it up big time. Ended up binning it and getting a new one.
With a lowered Saff or 3 door the original Ford rubber one makes more sense as its flexible and wont shatter.I also think they look good as well.

I changed my original one as when I first got my saff the rubber was folding under and coming away in the corners. Looked horrid so I got a brand new one from ford that started to do it as well. So I got a rouse one as I like them and there made for saffs

Another vote for original from me. I may have said Laguna years ago but mine has been back to original for almost as long.

I am also of the opinion to keep the original one. Mine was a bit bent and scabby but I spent a couple hours nursing it back to shape with a hammer and wet flatted it with engine oil - looks like brand new!

Well done ,its nice when your hard work pays off. Finding a brand new old stock one now would be very difficult.

No mine wasn't shrunk, it had just been hit at some time and bent upwards right on the corner, but I had the bumper off the car at the time and started one end and used rivets to fix it and just formed it to the shape of the bumper with a rubber mallet and a bit of patience.

Doing it off the car is much easier than on the car!

To be honest if its shrunk I would get a new one while you still can

Annoyingly I was over at ford today and as I drove out I said to my better half I forgot to ask about the splitter... ahhh, next time.
