I know a chap in the states who does a Toms style scoop for the MK1 if you're looking! They are very good quality.

Get some pictures up then! I've never heard of this spoiler you're on about! :)

Look on www.racingstrong.com Bill has one on his RSe Lite, it's an easy conversion and does make a difference, however you do need to reinforce the centre.

Will get some pics soon if I can find a host site!

Would be very interested in the Toms scoop (couldn't think of the name).

Cheers

Oh I see, it's like an elongated standard spoiler. Interesting!

Chappie who makes scoops is currently on his hols, remind me by dropping me a PM early Jan and I'll get him to ship one over with my current order from him! 8) They work out $150 normally (yes dollars, convert to pounds).

Will do mate, is it KD Garage services?

The spoiler mod improves the profile of the MK1 as well, in my opinion, unfortunately my filling was not very good in the centre and the paintwork has started to crack in the centre.
Also makes it easier to clean the back of the car as the leading edge of the spoiler is level with the back of the boot :lol:

I'm not so sure about the rear spoiler,looks as though it's overhanging too much but if handles better with it,who cares!!!!

Shows off the spoiler quite well, I've got an H&T anti-roll bar and poly bushes on order to add to the package. Ball joints and tie rod ends will be relaced at the same time!
