@ deanopolini
I have a KSB front splitter on my mk4 and not had any issues . It’s pretty flexible if I’m honest. I can’t get in or out my drive straight on or it scapes both ways and it flexes no issues . I recently went into a pot hole ( more like a creator ) i never seen it was a dark night and chucking it down .I first heard the bang then the crunch and feared the worst all it had done was broke a small half moon clean out of the lower lip ( I’m guessing the edge of the pot hole) and whole thing was still one piece . Highly recommend can’t mind what I paid for it though.

Re: Front splitter blown off twice !
@deanopolini in my experience I have found TRC splitters to be the best quality. A little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. As they say "Buy cheap, pay twice." I have a brand new one thats never been fitted if you want to pm me.
