Spoilerless with a lip...
I'm thinking of going spoilerless on my Classic... are there any lip spoilers that are available for the Classic or one from another car that will be a decent fit?

i know tht you can buy a lip spoiler for newer ones mate. no idea how the dimensions compare though and cant find any specific to the classic. pretty sure someone'll be able to make the new age one fit neatly with a little modification though :P

Aye, after looking at a few different cars had came across the E46 M3 lip... will it be correct size or will it need chopping abit?
Whats the best way to have the holes from the spoiler filled? Plate welded over? Might smooth the line out of the boot aswell...

i like the idea of a small spoiler just seen a few on ebay and yes they are cheap
do you need to mod them at all or is it a straight fit ?

The one on mine was really well held on with the tape. I thought about taking it off and it was on there that well that it looked like it was going to be a right pita to get off so left it.

Permanent enough that youd need to replace the boot - It aint comming off!!
