NEW PRODRIVE SPOILER PHOTOGRAPHED!!!!
 
:eek: I believe this is a scoop (okay, very funny, I know it's a spoiler but I am sure it's not SIAL...).

I saw this on the back of an 05 WRX whilst filling up with Optimax. Pictures taken in Balsall Common (near from the NEC and rather close to Prodrive I believe).

The logos on the side of the spoiler are quite large and are in carbon fibre.

Prodrive member of staff (he was wearing one of their blue shirts) was in the queue waiting to pay, so the photographs aren't very good (had to take them quickly). I was also in a hurry or I would have gone to speak to him.

Looks like they've based it somewhat on the WRC car....

I can't remember seeing this spoiler anywhere before, so I've assumed it's their new, yet to be released, design!!!

All I can say is "I WANT ONE" :D :notworthy :cool:

The angle on the right inner strut looks odd to me :confused:

Swen6 07 September 2005 06:30 PM

I kinda like it:luxhello:

ru' 07 September 2005 06:31 PM

I think that's just the angle I shot it from; looks great in the flesh. It's a shame I was late for a meeting, otherwise I would've got some more shots and spoken to the driver.

Better than the uk300 spoiler :p

Kevadair 07 September 2005 06:33 PM

Oh dear..........

When will the word 'REFINED' ever be used when bolting on some part to a scooby.:Whatever_

Ray_li 07 September 2005 06:35 PM

I like it and I thought I recognised the Shell garage

ru' 07 September 2005 06:35 PM

lol, when will a scooby ever be refined to start with?

SC008Y_MAD 07 September 2005 06:36 PM

You took the words right out of my mouth :D

Tho i still prefer the STI 8 spoiler and the S7 one (dr motorsport)

The old WRX isn't too bad but you don't see many in there original form out there.

RB170 07 September 2005 08:11 PM

I saw that on Battlestar Galactica last night :)

+Doc+ 07 September 2005 08:50 PM

Like it.

mgcvk 07 September 2005 08:53 PM

Tis truly horrendeose. Looks like it belongs on the back of a Ford Orion with nice set of neons.

Trap2Terrorist 07 September 2005 08:56 PM

Not keen. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/images/icons/icon13.gif

jasonius 07 September 2005 09:37 PM

jimby 07 September 2005 11:19 PM

Milamber 08 September 2005 01:14 AM

Love it...

Stiver3 08 September 2005 01:21 AM

I like the look 2... different angles from the norm but less in your face than for example the WR1 wing....


thumbs up from me....:p

DJ WATTS 08 September 2005 08:45 AM

Sorry but i dont like it. Quite similar to the UK300 one which i also didn't like.

Here is my all time fave though:

Nice! i like it!

corradoboy 08 September 2005 09:28 AM

Looks like an evolution of the RB5 style new-age wing that was on the US Prodrive site for ages but never released. I believe the US Prodrive marketing has gone through some upheavel (sp ?) recently and the site is no longer active to post a link. It was as that but without the inner vertical fins, which IMHO spoil a good spoiler. If it wasn't rigid enough then why didn't they use carbon :confused:

STi wanna Subaru 08 September 2005 09:37 AM

I think no spoiler or a very small lip spoiler (thinking M5 here) is the way forward.

GrollySTI 08 September 2005 09:46 AM

That spoiler would need a new boot on an STI (retro fit) - fit a WRX tho by the look of it.

GrahameS 08 September 2005 10:07 AM

Looks quite cool..

That's my regular fill up point too.. ;)

Why???? Aren't the WRX and the STi the same car ???????

Think he means the mounting holes on the boot.. they look a bit more inboard, and the WRX spoiler looks like it has quite inboard mountings as well..

Though saying that i dont know where the mounting holes on the STI spoiler is so i could be talking nonsense.. :D

Bartop 08 September 2005 04:04 PM

Wrx has 4 mounting holes - 2 either side, close by to these are 2 holes with plastic grommets to locate the spoiler and a hole for wiring for the stop light..

I believe the Sti has the same but additional ones across the bootlid..

Wobbly 08 September 2005 06:22 PM

I think it looks very cool......and yes, the STI has loads of holes all the way across the bootlid, so this version is obviously for WRX.

Wobbly.
