Hi all,

as you may know, I am looking at bringing the FB back to life over the winter, including a lot of bodywork, and a full respray...
while looking at the rear spoiler, I noticed the mounting points were mainly made of rust, and I\'d guess this is a common problem???

I\'m looking for a replacement rear spoiler, and thought...hmmm, be nice to replace it with a fibreglass one (or similar) that I could paint the same colour as the bodywork...keep the same shape, just make it solid and paintable...

I have been in touch with a good fellow who is willing to take my spoiler and replicate it in Flexible Reinforced Plastic...but it\'s not cheap at £250 approx cost. It would be a like for like replacement, just without the fixings.
He could reduce the price a little if he was making more than one, so I thought I would ask 2 things...

Firstly, does anyone have, or know of, a decent reasonably priced replacement spoiler?

Secondly, would anyone else be interested in an FRP replacement spoiler?

Marcrs

excellent news! emailed, thanks :)

Rotaryguru

Emailled a couple of pics, can get some better ones if you like. It mounts in the existing holes, so an easy replacement. :)

Marcrs

Got the email, thanks :)

If you could send some other pics I\'d appreciate it, at the moment I\'m not sure K is convinced...

Why not an Elford spoiler?

Marcrs

Yep, An elford would be fine...do you have one?

johnnyboy

Yes, but only the one on the car and I am keeping it...

anybody else got anything???

Looks like I might have to teach myself how to work with fibreglass...this could get messy :Laugh

My search is now over...I\'ve picked up a TWR spoiler :)
