Would love to do that Worzel but the problem is that there are no fitting kits for the P1 splitter as i was told that they are glued on...

Thinking about getting a splitter for mine and I don't know I would feel too confident about keeping it with glue alone. I would always suggest bolting it on if at all possible, otherwise make damn sure it is well glued!

Mine is an original one James, i spoke to Subaru and they advised that there is no fitting kit for them as i was advised theat the originals are glued on..

If it's a genuine P1 splitter mate you will have this stamp in the centre of the splitter





and this stamp adjacent to the towing eye









If you cant see both stamps, it's not a genuine P1 splitter.


As mentioned by Worzel bolts are better than glue.

I have grounded out many times in car parks etc and we have fabricated 4 brackets.
It's rock solid now and never moves when scraping the underside on the odd occasion.
