Default Blob carbon STI splitter

As above really, where will I get a decent one at the best price, storm Motorsport have one on eBay for £200 plus £10 post but are there any others that are good and a good price?

After some searching I have found that the ht autos ones seem to get brittle in colder weather and break easily ???

Thanks
Jeff

Looked very similar to the Storm one above that you mentioned. Seems like a good buy to me

Been fitted about 3 months now and got one stone chip on there but would never have seen it if I had not gone looking for it.

they are more hardwearing than ht autos ones, i had two ht autos splitters and both broke in winter when they became brittle.
had a carbon one on my blob for over a year with no problems and the fit was great

I was going to ask but figured you sold them with the motor. Seen pics of your old blob before and love it. Hope mine looks that nice one day.
