Default WRC SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!

just a quick warninng!!! do not buy the wrc spoiler advertised on E BAY, from subaru_org_uk. I made that mistake and got one, 24 hours after fitting, the spoiler started cracking in 3 different places!!! and only 4 of the original 10 holes fit.
very bad quality
stay away you have been warned!!!

no consolation, but you should have gone for the TSL one, its a couple of hundred pounds more but superb quality.
my mates got one on a 2005 STI .

I would never consider buying items like this from flea bay. If you want a quality item then you would be better off looking on Japanparts.com

thats terrible for a new item

Did it come painted, if so that is poor prep and the spoiler isn't sturdy enough if its cracking where shown, thats assuming you are abiding to the speed limits hahahahahahahaha

That looks really nasty, you should open a dispute citing "item significantly not as described", you should get a refund, but will still be out of pocket for painting and fitting.

Was it painted correctly ?

Can't quite tell if its just the paint thats cracked as the spoiler flexes.

They can put some sort of 'rubberising' fluid in the paint to make it flex, this might solve the problem. If its the spoiler itself cracking then thats poor.
