I got one from Sytner Birmingham last year and paid £90.

How much are they going for on Ebay etc?

They are sought after as the best looking OEM splitter on non Mtech 2 cars...

Same as Tech 1 Spoilers.

I not a fan of them both, black SE lip and spoilerless FTW 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

They have been approximately £100 new for years, I remember buying one new about 12/13 years ago.
