I had about 5 and all broke and didnt last long.
Got two genuine vr splitters and still on the first. I've bent it in half, folded it right over driving up a drive and it pops back.

eBay for months
Genuine for life

You guys are lucky, I can't fit a vr splitter on because the fronts that low 

I've currently got a duckbill splitter on and my sump sits lower than the splitter

Trouble is its getting harder to find genuine VR lips and those who have them know that they are worth more and milk it, i know it could be false economy but i'm just not paying £50 for a piece of old rubber.

The reason they are dear SH is because from new they are £90 from the dealer. I have just bought one. But you can feel the difference and they seem lighter too.

My ebay £15 splitter lasted about one 45min trip and my car wasnt that low.

Well it turned up today and tbh it does look cheap but you get what you pay for so i'll chuck it on at the weekend and see how long it last.

yeah this is the one i have used a few times. seems abit better that the rest and a really good fit. plus it meets in the middle perfect. seems to last longer than the other ones to.

My ebay splitter lasted 3m on the driveway  Literally 3m. Reversed off the drive and as soon as the car dropped over the kerb it smashed into 3 pieces.

The material they use is full of re grind and a load of black masterbatch, the genuine parts are the correct grade of material designed to take impacts and resist cold/heat and UV.....

If we could find out where they are moulded then I could supply the right material for a group buy.........
