Default REPLICA V5/V6 STI SPOILER

hi guys been looking for either a version 5/6 sti spoiler and noticed the originals still hold their value however when looking noticed replica's appearing for a lot cheeper, has anyone got any advice on these replica's if they are worth even considering or not and if so any links to one that has been tried and tested.

cheers

Not only the quality of finish but also the weight of the replicas can be an issue ....

The scoobyclinic plastic ones are very good, i had a V5 one and it was brilliant quality....most of the GRP (Fibreglass) ones are cr4p IMO, going from most of the ones i seen, ranging from ripples to uneven sides etc

Have a genuine V6 one now though, and the quality of it is second to none as you would expect, you just know its the real mc coy
