Talking

hello all

Is there a difference in height between STI 5 and STI 6 rear spoilers? Or is it just that the 6 has a "lip" on the top section? I'm looking at changing the puny standard item. Any one bought a spoiler from DR Motorsport (comes with free painting)? If so I'd be interested to hear what the paint job is like.

If enough people want a bigger spoiler, how about approaching one of the various suppliers for a group buy?

As far as I am aware the difference between the two is that the v6 has an angled top where v5 is flat.

I might be interested for the right price if you can wangle a group buy

Ernie,
Both spoilers are approximately 12" in height. The top wing on the STi6 has a different angled part to it, so makes it 1/2" higher.
We ran a group buy back in June and July for all types of rear spoiler, and will probably offer a similar group buy again in the Spring, still including painting.

Hi ernie

I bought a 22b style spoiler from DR Motorsport.

I bought it un-painted as I had a local bodyshop repair the boot damage (as the original spoiler was stolen [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ), paint and fit the new one.

While I asked for mine to be supplied un-painted, I can tell you that the quality of the product was/is very good.

I've also had a close look at Robertio's STi 5 (or 6) spoiler from DR.
His was supplied painted and from what I saw it looks very good.
(Don't tell Robertio I told you that! )

For a pic of both of our cars, have a look at:
http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/Body%20Styling.htm

The STi 5 silver spoiler is Robertio's, the 22b silver is mine.

Give Dave Reid a ring - he's very helpful.

Hope this helps...

Rich

Oh and by the way, I had to have different holes drilled to make mine fit - not a problem in my book, but worth noting..
