I'm going to collect a Mk1 Focus RS front splitter this week and ive been assured its carbon fibre.
It has been adapted to fit straight onto my ST, but are the standard splitters fully carbon fibre, or fibre glass, or wrapped? He assures me its a genuine Ford part.

Also how much would they cost from ford or second hand these days? As ive looked around and most people are saying £160ish

No splitter on a mk1 RS. Carbon or otherwise. Just the usual stoneguard affairs.

Loads had them added, though. See below. Aftermarket parts, however.

Thanks Arun! That's the same splitter I'm about to buy, or very similar anyway

The carbon fibre splitters for the MK1 Focus RS are made by Marcus at Creativecarbon!

and they're not full carbon. They're fibreglass with carbon layover.

Creativecarbon do 2 types, it all depends on how deep your pockets are, for example, I have a full carbon fibre splitter, the cheaper ones are fibreglass with carbon layover!!
