Shitter!

I grazed my splitter for the umpteenth time today in Uttoxeter :shock: my car is low enough for me not to want any sort of colour-coded tomfoolery going on, it would just get bashed and scraped within weeks :lol: I think I will stick to my original plan of having a new splitter every twelve months or so... much cheaper!

Still have the original splitter fitted at the moment but it is beginning to show signs of abuse :roll: :wink:

That's one good thing

I was going to get the bumper resprayed, but now thanks to the damage it's about twice the amount of what it would have been.
