Default Snapped front spliiter

So annoyed! Took the boy to a local lake where the farmers roads are riddled with pot holes and after some rain the holes were full and I couldn't see how deep they were.

made it to the lake with no issues but on the way out I got caught out and broke my splitter.
other than Japan is there a supplier of the sti splitter?

im happy to get non oem but want it to look as close to oem as possible.

Gutted for you, I know the feeling by the way and need a new one myself. I repaired my last one with fiber glass and resin as it split completely in half in the middle. It worked out ok but had a weakness after that so was destroyed when I miss judged a curb.

Below is a link to a replacement for you, I will be ordering one myself soon.

Slightly off topic, but what is going on with your front number plate?

If it's ABS, as most OEM spoilers/splitters are, ANY half decent body shop will plastic weld it and make it like new.

It was part of a front end refurb on the RA so I didn’t ask the exact price for the splitter but I do remember Tom wincing and saying they’re not cheap! Drop Tom a message and I’m sure he’ll provide a competitive price, best to contact him through the Facebook page. He’s sometimes a little slow at responding.

I’ve used the HT Autos one on my old black one. Quality and fitment weren’t great although I did ‘make’ it fit eventually.

I fitted one from HT Autos and fitment wasn't to bad but had to get some better bolts to fit it properly, to be fair it's taken a few knocks and held up well but has started to warp along front of the bumper over the years.

My last one was after market and the fit was very good. It was very easy to take off and on without issues, I had to take it off to cross the channel a few times as it almost always grounded out entering the ship.

The ones I have linked in the second post have been selling on here for many many years without any significant complaints that I have seen.

Splitters are a consumable on the Impreza so no point in spending big money on them. I have known people to replace them every few years as they just don't last on our crap roads, they do a great job protecting the front bumper though.
