22B Replica Adjustable spoiler ?
Hi,
Just testing the water to see what interest there would be in a full size 22B rear spoiler with fully adjustable rear blade.
We have aquired a genuine 22B spoiler and need a bit of feedback on producing these spoilers ,as the mould is very complicated ,so need to suss out if it will be worth it
All the adjustable brackets will be made from laser cut stainless steel
and bottom spoiler will incorporate rear brake lamp.
Will fit ALL saloon classics from 1992 - 2001
Will post pics soon!
Thanks for your time,
Mark @ HT Autos.

I dont need one but it sounds like a good move
theres not that many options really except v5,v6 or low level ..or none of course
a little off topic but its a shame no one does a prodrive copy like on the RB5, I have a carbon seibon one but would have really liked an oe replica?
Is there a copyright issue producing one as originals seem to be really sought after and make good money second hand?
cheers

I'm always astonished by how quickly you guys turn an idea into reality! Congratulations: it looks great to me.
Just an aside: another 22B owner on here was recently asking about a source for the hex centred bolts for the wing adjustment as his have become a bit corroded, so when you've got these bits sorted too, I reckon he would like to buy some off you.

Already sourced the Stainless socket bolts from Screwfix
I'm looking forward to having the 'genuine' one returned, but as I said to you no rush mate!

Thats not a 22B spoiler or even a proper replica, IMHO one of the worst spoilers available for the classic. I think the company that sells them call them a "down sized 22B replica" spoiler. The real one is totally different: http://image03.webshots.com/3/6/76/3...4WULcPQ_fs.jpg
