Thanks Frayz, i like it...... the original idea was simply to stop the water getting in through the spoiler bolt holes..... then i stopped next to a beemer one day and thought...Mmmmm i wonder, got my steel tape out and hey presto...!!

I'm toying with the idea of removing the rear spolier from my Crystal Grey Sti......as seems to be so popular in the states.
I think a few on here have done it.....if you are one of them, how much work was involved in getting the holes blanked off? Major bodywork job or what?
I'm kinda tempted to get some "sticky blanks" to check the look and then make my decision after running the car that way for a while.....giving me opportunity to view the car as I see it in the street, etc and also to get reactions of other folks.
Wonder if I should go the whole US style and fit some "Carlos Fandango"
wheels? They are getting 10" wide rims on their cars over there by introducing extra camber, etc to the suspension. Some of them look superb (Advan RS with the GTR face for example), but are they cocking up the handling completely by messing with the camber so much??

This is a Spec-C and its how it came from the factory without a spoiler, so there are no holes to patch up. I have a big water tank in my boot to balance out the weight of a huge spoiler. It looks the nuts in my opinion and is a very stealthy car. Doesnt attract the wrong kind of attention as much.
