Default WTB: Damaged Front Splitter

I know it sounds silly, but I am substantially modifying it so no sense in buying a brand new one perfect one.

Thanks

I've got a splitter that I was just getting ready to re-glass the front edge. Got a trader?

Sorry guys, I should have been more specific. I'm looking for one of the aftermarket ones, either GT Racing or AIR. Theres tons of postings of how often folks are replacing them, so it would be perfect for my purposes.

Cheers

No, I don't want to make a copy of the existing designs. I wouldn't do that out of respect to the builders. I do want to use the part that fastens to the bottom of the bumber. From there I would like to mold it so that a separate flat splitter can be attached. So I'll take either one.

Cheers

That's funny because the AIR splitter is a copy of a european splitter (DP,Gemballa,TechArt, I can't remember which)

Daigo, there are quite a few of us local 951 guys that want a splitter. I have been promising to fabricate one for 2 years now. I am pretty much the only local guy that actually has a splitter on a 951. Mine is now officially wrecked and since I am unemployed now, I have plenty of time to try again to make another splitter with about 2cm more ground clearance than the AIR units. We should get together sometime.

The funny thing is virtually anyone can repair rebuild an AIR splitter. It ain't brain slurgery!

Rich,
Sounds good

Ehall,
You're probably right, What prompted me asking the question is that time and again I've read where people have damaged there's and had to replace them. I've even read where individuals have had to replace them numerous times.
