Cheers m8.

 

Get it painted properly, it may cost you £100 or so depending on what work is involved, but it will be worth it in the end.

Saw a front lip spoiler that had the DIY treatment recently, it actually ruined the look of the car.

If you do paint it with cans, it will look all patchy and blotchy. But post the pictures on here, so we can all have a laugh.

 

Looks damaged .... or am I the only one who can see the damage on the right front??

 

the bloke selling it lives near me, its a breakers yard.

 

Yup, looks damaged, and it ain't off a '96 either..... so he doesn't even know what he's selling/sold....

 

will it? things i have painted never look like that, tbh there never far off the color match of the car. maybe your just not to good at it?

 

its a version 4 isnt it?

 

Yup, so at least late 97 if not later to my knowledge....

 

Its a V4 STI spoiler but it was fitted on 1999-2000 UK Classics too.

 

Looks like it

It cost me £160 to get my STI 6 spoiler painted in sonic blue - worth every penny - dont do it yourself get it done properly

 

I bought myself a Sealey 3hp compressor and a good spray gun for doing any small paint or touch up jobs. But something as large as a spoiler I would leave it to the professionals.
For the very simple reason that a spray can will never be able to produce results anywhere like as good as a proper spray gun. If they could we would never need a proper bodyshop again.
Either that or I'm a bit more fussy than you in wanting my cars to look good.

The spoiler looks like a poor replica, as there's something not right with the brake light. It looks like it's been added later.

 

Picked it up yesterday and it needs quite a bit of work so its going to a friends uncle who sprayed a spoiler for his BMW and its immaculate....only charged him £20 but it was already primered so im getting it done for £40.

Its in colour code 406 so prob was on a 96 car....theres no damge just scratches and patches where somebodys started to sand it, it going in to be sorted for £40, so for £55 minted up aint to bad. Im taking my sti5 spoiler off and repairing that....seem to be going for £100+ on fleabay primered so i will have £45 to spend on soemthing else for the car

 

when i had my 98 sport, i won one of the mid level spoilers off ebay, but it was red and required it qhite. think it was £85 all in inc spraying fitting and wiring up rear brake light...
