Default S202 carbon spoiler now fitted (wrx spoiler holes hidden!)

Been after one of the spoilers for ages!

Finally got one off here last week, cheers Matt (need4speeduk) and got it fitted on my day off today.

I know they are not to everyones taste but I love it!

Only problem I had was working out what to do with the holes left by the wrx spoiler clips + the centre brake light wire.

After a bit of head scratching I made up some templates out of black plastic which I then put over the holes (using a little silicone sealant to stop leaks) before fitting the spoiler on top.

Thought Id share this idea with you guys incase anyone else has the same dilema of what to do with the old holes - Im really impressed with the result:

I have an S202 and I really like the spoiler as it is a little different to the 'standard' STi rear spoilers , I have had another member of South Wales Scooby's describe it as a Meccano spoiler but he obviously has no taste.

Nice install and welcome to the 'special' spoiler club.

When I read up on these I found somewhere that it said these spoilers were designed in a wind tunnel and actually offer aerodynamic gains - not sure it will be anything that is really noticable though?

Genuine STi spoilers are not 'chav', are you on about the cheapie eBay jobs made out of cheap components and higher than the roof panel then you need glasses. There is no comparison.

Like I said some people have no taste...
