    855 rear spoiler 'attitude'

    Has anyone here got a picture of the 850 estates rear spoiler slightly modded to have a slight 'lift' on the rear edge? Thinking or giving my rear spoiler a little tweek to get the rear edge to sit up just a smidge.

    I think TC was thinking of doing some sort of R saloon spoiler type flick to the rear of an estate spoiler. If you do something I'd be interested to see the results

    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    I quite like the P2 V70R spoiler - makes both ends look angry, then it gets spoiled by silly coloured paint (unless it's black nom nom)

    The current Ph3. V70 rear spoiler is quite some spoiler when you stop to look at it...


    Anyway all that a side the 850 R boot spoiler is where it's at
