Firstly massive thank's to t5steve for making this for me he's done a top job and for the price he charged he's not doing it for the money as after time and effort and materials i doubt very much if there is any profit lol, top bloke to deal with and workmanship is second to none, nice to have a subtle touch of something different on the car :)

Secondly thank's to the VPC delivery service Wayne and Frankie for keeping it safe and sound till it got to me cheers lads :)

Some pics which probably dont do it justice.

glad you like it ....................as i stated in my earlier posts i don't make these for profit i only just manage to cover costs..................it is just my way of returning something to the forum members in return for all the free advice i've had in the past...........and possibly need in the future.........
top man james was a pleasure to build this for you ............if anybody else wants one just ask.............

Looks spot on as I expected it would, when you get a chance James try and get a couple of shots of the rear of the car dead on and then a side profile of the whole car :)

Sunday 4th March 2012, 18:44
something like this for me lol

I think you need to be carefull with the over all size Frankie as it could be overkill with the rest of the cars standard features ;)

It's the side profile of the car which will show the added flick that Steve has made ;)

if you can get hold of a spare spoiler send it down and i'll have a play with it if you like.............no obligation of course

Looks loads better james, should have come standard like that on all R's.

ps any luck with the wideband?

AndysR
Sunday 4th March 2012, 19:16
It's strange they never experimented with the spoilers on the estate R's only the saloons seemed to benefit from that treatment...?

Looks ace james, adds a nice touch to the car. Steve I think you've found your calling with the painting and custom modding....

AndysR

I think the lighter colours would lend themselves well to a darker edged lip like the saloon spoiler ;)

It reminds me of when my mate fitted a pulsar gti-r spoiler to his integra powered eg civic hatch, Bring back the 90's :)

Having seen Steve's work I would definately agree with that his paint finishes are brilliant :)

I didn't realise they were custom - just so subtle & very nicely done too. I've had a lip spoiler for 3 years or more for the C70 but just felt it would spoil the clean lines.

T5frankie
Monday 5th March 2012, 19:23
anyone wanna donate a rear spoiler for steve to work his magic on for me? lol i'd like one similar just 2-3 inches wider

http://www1.garaget.org/archive/61/60826/178125/178125-2604174.jpg

about 2" longer (front to back) with the ends dropping down over the lights.............is that what you are thinking of frankie?

Yeah i will :) you can have the one that came off mine, you will have to pay a tenner for the van driver that deliver's it as they are all self-employed.

That's it, shows the spoiler much better that way. It stops the typical drop type appearance that the standard spoiler has when viewed from the side...



BTW Steve you'd better make sure the car is clean for Sunday don't want to let the side down now do we!

just a thought to all saloon owners...........i could modify boot spoilers to incorporate the lip as well........ .........same price as estates
