Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Saab 99 rear spoiler on Mk2 update 2/1/13 finished!photos page 3

Nice to see originality and a lot of thought and effort going in to it but to me the car looks better without. It's true spoilerless 2's can look a little 'thin' at the back end but good spats to make the car look deeper are a better cure than another spoiler... IMO. Still I'm impressed by the idea...

Re: WHY do bigger alloys mean worse handling?

Must have spent days rattling my brain sussing my next move for 15s I want to stay with 15" but really at my wits end with only Toyos or Falkens left in standard size .. only saving grace is Falkens handle progressively. Looking on Camskill, TBH the tyres I really want are trackday - Yoko AD08 ...

Do you know if this comes as a built bootlid or if someone has bonded and smoothed the spoiler to a standard boot? :-k


This is a one piece built lid. Expensive and lovely.

I bet nobodies out a Saab spoiler on a 2 before so will be unique. :thumleft:


It's a base Japanese 'G' spec so no spoiler, with 3sge engine.

Cheers for the vote :D

My '2 is currently without rear spoiler (from factory) Thinking of something different, wanting to introduce a 70s feel, as below http://imageshack.us/a/img607/4197/m5hz.jpg So I'm favouring an experiment with an early ( all black rubber and smaller than later version) Saab 99 item .

Even if chassis sorted for track, still leaves you to push the envelope with downforce.
