The splitters I sell are made from black glass fibre, so even if the matt paint chipped, they would still be black, also carbon fibre available. Both 2 peice sets, pm for details.
thanx

I had the same problem mate cos I thought for the extra money they were gonna be painted properly not sprayed with a can of Halfords special.

Anyways took mine to a local bodyshop and had the thing plasticised and re-painted looks pretty good, although it got chipped on way to Central Day still not nearly as peppered, probably the best way to go

Originals are made of rubber and can follow the curve of a sapph bumper.

Tabz stuff is nicely made in 2 pieces as originals. He says they can be made to fit a sapph.

I had some 'glass ones from another supplier but there was too much of a difference in the 3dr vs Sapph bumper to make it fit. That's where I made a copy of a Rouse splitter and they fit great. I won't claim they could fit a 3dr though!

If you want original then bid Eagle strong money, 2pc ones call Tabz or a 1pc rouse style then PM me.

You pay your money and take your choice!
