DON'T DO IT

If you insist on doing it, it just unbolts from underneath/inside the bootlid and will most likely have some of that horrible black gooey stuff to remove too

Then you have some holes to fill in

 

do it I love it
Buy a spare bootlid so u can swap and change when u get bored

 

my bugeye that i have just got had no spolier. didt like it so i put 1 back on but the holes were walled on the inside then filled over the top.

 

Go for itas above some holes to fill and a wee coat of paint

 

i like the suggestion of getting a spare bootlid. love the pics...i really like this look. my wife doesnt but that link i posted in #1 is exactly the look i want to achieve. i know going spoilerless causes a bit of a divide in the scoob community but imo its such a good look, although i still havent seen one in the flesh yet, might change my mind when i do.

 

definetly get a spare boot lid then you can always change back after

 

looks GASH.

 

Do it and if you get a spare boot lid you can always put your picnic table boot lid back on and chav it up again

 

Seen yhis car in the flesh along with this onehttp://www.scoobyireland.com/forum/y...me-change.html I say go for it I always liked the spoilerless look, I know its a bone of contension but I'm thinking of doing the same with my classic (with a spare bootlid as I have a v5 wing to go on)

 

ive got mine de spoilered,had it for about a year gone for the us euro look,slamed on bbs lm's, ill get sum pics up.

had the boot smoothed off.looks sick

 

 

 

That's the just the ticket Rob! BBS LM's, dumped and smooth...that's what i am gonna do! Thanks for the pics.

 

what lip spoiler are you using on here?

anyone got any links to a "how to" guide or a photo stip of it being done?

cheers!

 

i like the despoilered look and now have it on my bug. wouldn't have done it to my own bootlid though - found one that had already had the work done!

 

No No No, my WRX (hawk eye) i just bought never had a boot spoiler fitted, had the car for about 2 days before ordering a hi level spoiler for it, imho it looks wrong without a spoiler.
As mentioned if you are going to despoiler it i'd get another boot lid so if you do change your mind in the future it's nice and easy just to swap boot lids over, just my oppinion

 

just looks a bit naked, although that blue blob looks sweet

 

My mate reconed my car looked like a Deawoo without it lol

 

de-spoilered does look quite nice, especially if your car has been mapped up, gives people a little surprise when you put your foot down..... a wolf in sheeps clothing.
