pezza_no1 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) A while ago went to put a big spoiler on the car but paint was kak so took it off. But also took a couple of pics with no spoiler and I'm kinda liking it! What do you think? Standard No Spoiler Big Spoiler Edited February 6, 2009 by pezza_no1

kevlorn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 scoobies look pants without a spoiler on imo.......................pics would be nice though
pezza_no1 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Sorry chaps moved the folder they were in! Pics should now be back
matt78 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 scoobies look pants without a spoiler on imo.......................pics would be nice though 100% Agree!!!!
stum450n Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I'm not sold on classics with no spoiler, some newage scoobs look good without but I think if it where me, I would keep the BIG spoiler!
compo71 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 No spoiler is the way to go!!!! Not so sure on a classic though!
martyg Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 reckon bigger is better!! i been tempted by on of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Version-8-Finned-rea...A1%7C240%3A1318
martyg Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Do it, do it! Thay is one sexy spoiler waiting to get mot and service out way on scoob in next couple of weeks first!! exhaust top of me shopping list but sooo tempted
james04 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 reckon bigger is better!!i been tempted by on of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Version-8-Finned-rea...A1%7C240%3A1318 you can buy the fins that fit inside the spoiler to make it look like the wrc one.
pezza_no1 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Yeah seen that spoiler before, and they do it for classics as well. When I put the big spoiler on it didn't fit very well as the middle was raised off of the boot. There's holes to drill which would then screw the middle to the boot lid but I was unsure about doing that. Has anyone else had to drill new holes in the middle or should it just sit flush to the boot? That's the main reason really I've not got it on, it's currently sat in my shed collecting dust!

Yes mate, I put my sti5 spoiler on a few weeks ago, and yeah you need to drill the holes. Did you get a fitting kit with it? Guides to drill the holes through. I got my spoiler from scoobyworld, which had a fitting kit.
pezza_no1 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Did have some 'things' with it but no instructions as such as it was new but 2nd hand. Might give it a go this weekend and see how it goes
Maxxed_Ross Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I dunno, only certain cars and colours can pull off not having any spoiler at all I'm not a fan without. Looks nice with the new ig spoiler!
matt78 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Did have some 'things' with it but no instructions as such as it was new but 2nd hand. Might give it a go this weekend and see how it goes Yeah, don't know how to describe them...um...like tiny skis with a tube in the middle...?? You push the tube bit up into the holes in the spoiler, with the long 'ski' bits facing lengthways down the car, so that they poke out from the bottom section of the spoiler, tape down these protruding bits with masking tape. Then eye up and just nip up the screws in the existing holes at either side of the bootlid, then making sure the skis are held down well with the tape, lift the spoiler back off again. The guides should stay taped down on the bootlid, if not, the pipe bits are slightly large and are staying in the spoiler holes, which means you'll have to sand them down a bit and try again. When it's worked and the guides are now taped to the bootlid, drill down through the pipe bit with a 3mm drill, then remove the guides and re-drill the holes with a 6mm. Then bolt down your spoiler! **You WILL need 2 mates to help you line it all up and maybe hold down the guides when you lift the spoiler off, it's IMPOSSIBLE on your own!! Mine turned out ok in the end, took about an hour. Good luck!!!!
scooby-22 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Nice looking spoiler matt, really makes the back end look better, problem is i want one now
matt78 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Nice looking spoiler matt, really makes the back end look better, problem is i want one now Haha! Sorry! I bought the car with the mid-level spoiler on, but just had to have an sti5 or sti6 one on there asap! Cost me £300 though!!
