Roof spoiler question

[SKIDMARKS]

I am looking to put one on and found these on ebay. Item 120523362296 (cant do stinky linky)

Has anyone used these? I guess they are not the genuine article. It says 2001 on but mine is the 2000 phase 2 which I believe are the same ?

Some clever person will be along in a min to do the link, but why not get a second hand one and respray it might be an option

£120 plus del new ( genuine ) and cannot find any used fandango

[Flatout Phil]

If you are patient I have seen these as low as £30 on Ebay as Buy it Nows. You could always post a request on here - bound to be someone with one tucked away gathering dust.

That said, it is pretty cheap...

Sorry mate only saw the £39.99 no wonder i thought it was cheap lol, try Nads 07761 505315 he might have one.

Thanks for the number james. Not trying to confuse here but the ebay one IS£39.99 but a new one from simon will be £125 plus del.

ANYONE GOT AN ORIGINAL 4 SALE ?

[Jamest5r]

The copy could well be very good mate all they have to do is make a mould from an original one, plus it can be painted in the colour you want i think the volvo ones just come in primer but i could well be wrong lol

[SKIDMARKS]

are the originals fibreglass james?

No idea mate sorry, don't even know what mine is made from on a 855, body work is not my strong point, Tomcat is the man to ask i would think

[SKIDMARKS]

Just taken the plunge and ordered one. His feedback is good and has sold plenty. Will see if it is all as it should be...I wonder ? :shifty:

The real deal are ABS plastic & have a 3rd position brake light.

The spoiler suits the P2 better than not having it & it's not the dearest mod you could do.

Just remember that the rear door/tailgate is plastic so be gentle when you drill to fit or you might crack the thing! Or worse, burst through & damage something you cannot remove!

Top hint is if it does have a 3rd position light, then connect it up to the original light. Looks awesome & is much brighter.

They are a good job as i bought one and it lined up perfect

PLASTIC ? Thought it felt light. Hope they don't melt on a hot day :rolleyes: Hopes it helps keep the glass a bit cleaner as I have'nt managed to get the rear washer working yet. No noise from the pump so thinking it may be this. There is a seperate pump for the rear I understand ?

[thebadger]

Not really much cleaner, the aerodynamics from the back just sucks rubbish onto the back of the car.

It may actually be fiberglass? I cannot remember, but probably.

It's very light.

As I said though, the car does need it!

[SKIDMARKS]

Just had delivered a new one from an ebay seller. Looks the nads and for £39.99 plus £15,99 post it is well worth it. Now just got to get my lad to paint it and fit it. He's in the trade so it may be this year :frown:

[Al115]

He doesn't want to do two in the same colour does he? As I quite want one as well :)

[SKIDMARKS]

Like I say I may get it done this year.... My last car had a rub on the bumper and I sold the car after 4 years with it still the same rub !
They use Dupont and the laquer is £100 litre so not cheap.
He reckons £100 to prep and paint a spoiler being f/glass includes a bit more prep work but the paint is top quality.

[Al115]

LOL! Well if he wants the work, drop me a PM :)

Cheers...

[SKIDMARKS]

He's gonna have a look at mine this weekend to see how much work he has to do to prep it. He's a really fussy bugger when it comes to painting and f/glass ain't the best thing to prep to get the best finish. He was the only one allowed to paint the F/glass Ferraris when they came in. He painted my kitcar lexus black and you can imagine how much work that involved.
Will let you know after he's had a look

[Tomcat]

The original spoilers are plastic, I know he's a relative but that sort of money to paint a roofspoiler is ridiculous no matter what sort of paint they're using.
