Less is more they say.. though for my car this would actually be err, more. I'm considering a Toms small rear spoiler and got my hands on it today, thx Dave. Just 'shopped the results and put pics in my garage... last 5. Does it suit or do I leave it naked? Also what do you think of the look of the standard wheels I've got on.. work with my silver paint details (the rears still have a 15mm spacer on till I can get shorter studs)?
Opinions welcome but please, be gentle.

The spoiler looks really nice buddy, but put your other wheels back on.
I tried tae do a swap for your spoiler with a trd spoiler (i like it a lot )

Better with it than without. I really do not get the whole obsession people have with a plain fe bootlid.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
No obsession hence now considering a different option. Just was never quite convinced about any of the original factory spoilers (were they just a marketers way of differentiating engine pricing options?) and frankly when I took off my rev1 it was as simple as wanting a change, something more individual to personalise the car to me and much the same is true now. I also think I prefer the more euro look (how many production ferraris had spoilers in the late 80's.. tho how many should have?). I'd love to know wind tunnel results for all the available spoilers for the 2. This one though I feel is blending into very discreet territory... hmm... could it be cut and blended to boot/qtr panel I wonder?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
I say yes Rob and then I would be looking for a nice set of BBS RS wheels to replace the old ones.
I'm not liking her on stockers its a shame the old wheels have seen their day

Cheers Ad. Still not quite sure on the spoiler but I do have the old bootlid doing nothing in the garage...Oddly I quite like the stock wheels but they're inset too much looks wise. Nice set of staggered 16s for sale at the mo, posted yesterday Hiro... somethings, have a look. Would they suit do you think with white centres?

PS. Managed to watch/transfer that SRV video?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
They're his standard wheels I have on now! What 16s has he got? Mentioned nothing last w/e... is he trying to sell the white ones he's just bought?
What do you think of the other ones I mentioned?

Where's the other ones Rob?
And yes I think the white ones may be up for grabs

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
I'm not sure on this one! From the back it looks great - but I think from the side, it's too subtle and lays down too flat.
Tell you what might be interesting though - combining the new spoiler with your old style mounting of the number plate between the rear lights.
How are you mate? I keep ending up near your place, saw you coming out from WGC past the Crooked Chimney the other day, gave you a flash but was in the Vectra Just picked up a ropey rev1 to play with last week, first order of business - whipped off the spoiler

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
Hey Owen fella how you doing, all good I hope, drop round with the rev1 one day for a gander. Ad, the other wheels are the Hoshinos in the for sale section here. I didn't know Dave was selling the white ones.... he's had them on less than 10 mins hasn't he? Anyway not right for my car I think. Still not sure on the spoiler... any more opinions? Toying with the idea of putting it on my old rev1 bootlid so I can switch between it and the spoilerless option easily.
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
Also to add to your pondering - yes it can be cut and smoothed in, not sure on the looks though.
edit: Regrettably can't drop round with the rev1 - it's a long term project so keeping it off the road. Besides it's got a blown head gasket and terrifying brakes anyway (terrifying and that was just repositioning it in the car park!)

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
Hmm, interesting look but perhaps not for me. Not sure the extra expense of blending looks better. Can anyone stick those 5 piccies of my car in this thread for me please for others to pass a view on. Thx.
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
rob i love it mate, get the toms c7rs that are for sale on here on there and it will look real aggresive!!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
Cheers Steve though I'm still thinking about it. I reckon I'll put it on the old bootlid so as to have the two options. Not sure about c7s either... what do you think about the Hoshino racing split rims in the for sale section, with white or orange centers?
PS. Just added a white version of the Hoshinos to my garage, last image... what do you guys think?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] New spoiler...? Opinions please.
Rob buy them, buy them now!!!
They're pretty similar to BBS RS's but much better value, they will completely transform your car and I loved it before but with those wheels and that lil spoiler it will look the b0ll0cks!!!!!
If you don't believe me, Stevie Ray Vaughan spoke to me in a dream and he said you should do it to
Also - you up for this?
