Default Discreet spoiler pic request

Hello,

I need a favour.

I'm thinking of changing the spoiler on my car to this:
Discreet Rear Lip Spoiler<br>A stylish small and discreet lip spoiler<br><br>

I currently have the GB270 prodrive spoiler <---- view my scooby.

Does anyone have one of these discreet spoilers fitted? I am particularly interested in seeing it on a hawkeye with standard wheels and ride height. If not any photoshop whizzes that can help me out?

General opinions on the idea welcome as well.

Cheers

I'm sure you will get the same opinion here like you did on TTS mate.

Stick with what you have already got, it looks smart.

Why would you want to do that, if you want discreet buy a sport or a mondeo, if you do deceide to change at least keep the spoiler you have so you can replace it when you've realised your mistake.
Very nice car you have there though

For £199 surely it should be bigger than that?

Think cos500 has a valid point fella The spoiler makes the scoobies what they are.

But it is a Spec D (discreet)... supposed to be stealthy quick.

So no pics of any cars with this one? Obviously not a popular impreza spoiler

I prefer the discreet one too. Much prettier than the wing you have.
Would make for a very pretty car.
Most people wont take their spoiler off of their scoob cos they dont have the ***** for fear of what others might think. If my car wasnt so track styled id lose my spoiler for sure

Everyone thought i was MAD when i suggested doing this to mine........ there are now several copies out there.... it's your car, if you like it, do it, ignore what 'the pack' say..... do it!!!

I'm glad i ignored the pack, and went with my idea, i think it looks fan bloomin tantastic......

Lovely Hawkeye I found, just happens to be a type 25

Do you not have the original ?



Also a great link for different scooby models.

Thanks everyone, I think it looks the dogs dangleys...

Will they just cover the holes on my boot and respray it? Fitting seems quite reasonable at £200 if that is the case.

My mudflaps may need to go, but we shall see. getting it on next month as remap this month, so will post pics of when it is done.

Though I like the STi Style spoilers, I do like the discreet look of the the smaller spoiler (or none at all) .

I have always fancied getting rid of front scoop and rear spoiler for a real clean look ........... But without getting a front mount on, cannot see me bothering.

I agree without does not suit the hawkeye, but the discreet spoiler changes the shape of the back of the boot and makes quite a difference despite it's size.
