    All,

    On my second track day in my "new to me" 2009 F430 (7700kms) the bottom 1/2 of the front splitter separated from the top half while going down the main straight at SMSP at 220kph. Part number 80866310.
    We were able to retrieve the piece. It was only scratched. I have repainted and re glued together.. photos attached.
    Just wondering if any one else has experienced a similar situation. Its a surprisingly weak design with only glue holding the two pieces together. Looked to me like it was a glue failure. The dealer mechanics had not seen it happen before.
