I had one of those from eBay..... Got it crimbo day, broke it on my way home lasted 5 miles... It didn't help that the vr splitter had 6mm clearance from the road...looked sweet, but  the copies break very very easily I hit mine on a cats eye under braking as i swithed lanes coming onto a roundabout, it it shattered into pieces....  Better with an original oem part although I've trashed my genuine duckbill one too now... But that's lasted 18 months

I've heard good things about the euro wagens splitter, supposed to be good and durable.

I used to have genuine one, got it for £5 coz it had a small crack init. Used to smash it daily and just bounces back

I had an ebay one too. Lasted literally 3 meters. Fitted it, reversed off the drive which has a tiny drop to the road and the splitter shattered  :grin:
