Have decided to change the girly low level spoiler on my MY96.

Fancy a high level one (preferably with the brake light)as shown on Philip Attaways car (for sale section).

Where's a good place to buy one and will it bolt in to existing holes? Should I also stear clear of replicas and only get a genuine subaru product.

Have hopefully got someone lined up to spray it, just need to find one now.

Any help much obliged.

Spoilers can be found at all good Scoob modifiers mate; Scoobyscene, Scoobysport, DR Motorsport etc.
Ranging from £200 - £500 depending on style (STI/ WRC with carbon fibre, adjustable wing...)

Most should utilise the existing holes left behind from the stock spoiler. Agree that some are of better quality than others, but I'm not up on who produces the better ones here.

Avoid genuine articles from dealers, since you'll be paying through the nose for them I reckon.

Cheers mate,

anyone else got any ideas, preferably a recomendation of something you've purchased and been happy with the quality. Can't afford to cough up £500.00, (brakes going on at end of the month), could stretch to £250-300. Don't want carbon or any of that jazz, just a standard High Level jobbie with a brake light.

Darren,

Can you send a post when you've seen/fitted the spoiler and let me know how good it is, with painting included, sounds quite cheap.

Cheers

Chris
