Default Classic Rear spoiler advice

Guy's

I really want to change the rear spoiler on my RA & see many different types about but never know there type or model...

You can all see my rear end in the attached picture, any chance one or two of you guy's could recommend a decent jobby for me to have fitted.







Thanks in advance

I would leave it, the classic lines looks the best. But if you still want to change, have a butchers at mine.

dont think the o.p. car would suit what slipstream has, as his car has a bodykit on it.

each to their own though, and if hes happy with that wing...

o.p. why not go for an sti/p1/rb5 jobby?
possibly carbon fibre?

No spoiler..Noooooooooooooooo it would look naked........

Yes the original one looks ok, though now I would like to try something a little higher, hopefull to balance out with a P1 splitter at the front.

I have considered a Carbon spoiler, but have been put off a little by quality, and unless you pay an extreme amount for a carbon type, the gel just matting just seperates beneath the clear coating, or lets say so I've been told..

I quite like the P1 / rb5 style

Which ever way I go with a large wing, I would like the uprights white with a black blade....or maybe the tip of the blade in black

cheers for your comments guy's...

Those two cars without the rear spoilers look fantastic. With the FMIC you could lose the bonnet scoop too.

The red ra already has a front mount.... and i did think about it myself, however, a scoob without a bonnet bulge is like toast without butter..... somethings missing!!

Leave as-is in my view. The mid-level spoiler balances the car perfectly I think

PN BOND 007, if you do decide to change it, can i be the first to offer to buy your spoiler.

I really want the mid level for my WRX and it is also white as well. I am in Leamington so I can collect from you.

Thanks

Jason

Of course, send me a pm with your details, then I can drop you a line when sorted, it is in excellent condition....
It will be a while though....a few weeks maybe



James Neill
Yes Indeed & I agree, however I do want to take the step of fitting a higher spoiler as I like the look, plus it will be painted a little different than totally white.

Keep the spoiler.

It looks like a Proton without one.

Yes, but it looks like one of those fugly Scoob things with one .

Seriously though. If you must have a spoiler the mid-level is the one that suits the car best by far. You've got the best colour too!!!

The V4 aka mid-level, i.e. is the best looking spoiler in my opinion.
