I used cardboard off cereal boxes first and scribed my top and bottom cuts then added the angle i wanted once i had the shape i ordered a piece of 4mm perspex off ebay. I cut and filed it to shape "nightmare to cut perspex" then i sprayed it up myself i drilled a hole in the too and bolted a L shape bracket either side then screwed that to the top of spoiler and then i glued the bottom with poxy resin. I fixed the top with brackets and screws becauae you wouldnt see them and makes them secure i wasnt sure how strong poxy resin was so if it did give way at bottom i still have them attached. All in all i think it cost around £30

Not right now but i can get you one. If i was to do it again theres a few things i would do differently. Your best off buying the perrin wing stiffi if ur not aware of them i wasn't at the time of making them i only came across perrin once id finished. But i suppose if your on a budget you would save around £60 making them yourself.

Price is £30 each in fibreglass and £50 each in carbon. They fit by either drilling and bolting into the existing holes of the spoiler or using strong adhesive
