Default rb5 spoilers

As there seems to be a lot of interest in these spoilers i have obtained a price from a local kit manufacturer in N.Ireland.He can supply the rb5 style wrc spoiler with the pro drive logo stamped on it for about £160 if a minimum order of 10 is placed.Postage and packaging would be around a tenner and i could colour code if required.Spoilers will take approx 21 to 28 days as he will have to manufacture them after order is placed.Anyone interested then?

Cool

Oh yes

Couple of questions.........1.Do these come with a brake light?
2.How many bolts hold it down - Will more hole need to be drilled or just the existing ones?
3. Any good pictures of the Spoiler?

Any ideas of what the cost would be finished in Sonic Blue?

Assuming the required 10 people joined in?

If they look like the real deal, have the brake light and fit into the standard holes then you can count me in. I do not require painting.

Thumbs up Spoiler

Count me in for this one, but would need conformation to what N1 Spann has posted in previous thread (see above)

Default spoilers

Spoilers do not come with light although one can be ordered but apparently they can take up to two months.Holes are the same,but i would put a few extra just to be safe.I bet half the people on here have bought p.drive stickers and other items that arn't offical and does anyone really care about a spoiler? Oh and i am not selling them just putting people in contact.

And i do not own a digital camera but i will try and find a exsisting picture.

Spoiler in sonic blue for about £50 mate.

this could be the same place that done a group buy age's ago,the spoiler's didn't fit straight on,put 1 side in then the other 1 was off by a good 2",you had pull/stretch/force the fixing's thru boot lid,not very ideal

there was no problem with those spoilers that i did the GB on, even the genuine subaru part requires the stretching to align the fixing holes.

mine has been on for 2years now and it is still fine

if your looking for some others to join in i'm sure if u post on the www.rb5oc.co.uk forum then u would get sdome intersted owners

i've seen one the last (pull, stretch) spoilers, put it this way, i tried (with my pal who bought one) to pull and stretch and fit the spoiler and couldn't get the bolts to go even close to the holes
the two bases of the spoiler seem to angle up instead of lying at the same angle as the boot lid.
as ray says get one to have a look at

Have one on my scooby and it looks fine, although it isnt an exact copy but it still looks nice in my op!! No brakelight either, but breaking is for wimps.

Default £210

That seems unrealistically cheap for a spoiler with painting?

I paid £230 just for the spoiler and then another £100 for paint and fitting. Though the job was a good one.

If it is that price and a good replica then i would snap one up if i didnt have one already.

Its the same as rb5s but iam just going to forget it.Seems like there is to many no it all,no f;#k alls on here.This would have been the price, it was a genuine bargain its just most most people on here seem to like talking about there cars instead of doing anything to them.If people find it hard to fit a spoiler then maybe they should pay a fortune for someone else to do it! What do you think is done differently in a bodyshop as a comparision to a mechanic/body worker doing it at home ITS ALL THE SAME.Apoligies to anyone that is genuinely interested its just i can do without the hassle and agro.
