If it was mine Ry I'd go for the carbon spoiler especially if you have the mirrors too.

This will sound strange but when I saw the car and the colour I imagined it with the s202 style spoiler bit like this



Do you not fancy that look Ry? Think it looks real cool with the arches too. What do you rek mate?

The carbon one would suit better and with the mirrors should blend in well.
Think a colour coded spoiler would just look the 'norm' and this car is going to be far far from that lol.

Lol ill stop throwing in more ideas to confuse matters haha. Was just thinking if you went with the v6 carbon spoiler then the carbon mirrors, a carbon diffuser and front splitter would also look good to give it an all round match

I'm not the greatest fan of it Tim as you know,I only got the mirrors as I like the shape of the WRC one's.
I need to have a long think about it but I would love a prodrive one like fitted to the RB5!

Couple more bits back from the coater today which were rear hubs/rear back plates/forge power steering tank and bracket and rear exhaust hanger bracket



One thing I have been looking into is engine mounts as I have poly bushes for every where plus the TRS gearbox mount I figured it would be rude to leave the engine mounts as standard.
I found a company called silver project who's mounts looked not to bad and at a good price so I ordered them and they lamded today,have to say I am impressed .



Plus I got the gearbox into the booth and got the sensors and brackets off to give it a clean so I could etch and paint it,I did the brackets and oil pipe in matt black
