Need a new splitter

Coming back from work today after very heavy rain the road was flooded so I slowed right down to about 5mph but the flood was deeper than I thought and the water pressure ripped the splitter off

which got caught under the front wheel and proceeded to pull the whole inner wheel arch cover out

. I've managed to repair and refit the arch cover but I could only find half the splitter

the rest had disappeared in to the loch that was once a road

. Anyone know the best place to get a new one that doesn't cost silly money? I was looking at a couple on ebay,

think I would prefer a painted one rather than plain black does anyone know the difference in the types of plastic one is made from PU the other is GRP which one is best?

sorry to hear that mate, Know what you mean about the roads, drove up from Blackpool today and the M6, A74 were terrible, worst conditions i've drove in, roads were flooded all the way with low visibility, spotted someone facing the wrong way in the fast lane

As Barry says HT seem to be good quality
