I've been debating adding protection to the underside of my front carbon lip. Two options I've seen are:
- metal plate type protection ChinSplitter
http://chinsplitter.com/v12vantage.htm

- synthetic material by ScrapeArmor
https://scrapearmor.com/products/aston-martin-vant...

Does anyone have experience with either option and/or perspective on whether something like this is worthwhile? My driveway is such that a scrape is possible if the initial approach angle is slightly off.

Appreciate any perspectives.

Best,
Rick

If it was me, I'd spend the $649 on fixing my driveway.

Super heavy cost - I initially thought it was the big slab of aluminium to help spread any impact but then saw its a few small curved bits of alu! They are bolted TO the carbon lip???eek

A friend just gets them from China and orders a few at a time... Is it Oy Carbon or something? I have chrome - much less stressful wink

Surely bolting on another piece of material under the front splitter, reduces ground clearance and approach angle requirements even further, so if you didnt catch before you will now....except that its now just a £600 sacrificial part (or more by the time you import it)

I would go for the "fix my drive" approach too smile
