I've used them before (actually replaced my splitter for the C4S one which IMHO looks nicer) and parts are genuine P, just cheaper

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know best place to buy a new front splitter? Its the black plastic bit that hits the ground on sloping driveways! see photo. Porsche seem to want about £300 which seems a bit steep for a plastic strip to me! Besides, I just know I'm going to catch it and need another before too long.....

Hi andy 226.00 at design911 you have to register with your club membership no: to get discount. I changed mine on my c4s took 5 mins two screws round by each wheel where the splitter goes round and then start from one end and pull slowly its in a slight recess.

POST 4Original post

Check Ebay as sometimes some one in Birmingham has some US ones for sale at lower prices. Also worth considering the C4S one as its more robust and half the price.

POST 8Original post

Worth noting if you hadn't spotted it that the C4S spoiler is smaller which may help going over sped bumps and less grounding. Depending on the damage you can actually sand back some of the damage to the underneath of it where it's 'weathered'. Just used some fine dry sand paper.
