What about this place........http://www.velocitas...poiler-10-p.asp


Uh oh, I sense an incoming bombardment from LPS. :o

By all accounts, all of their products are sh!t and need major refinishing. to make them fit and make the paint stick to them.


Thanks for clearing that up, im not sure about this company i just thought it looked cheap but i do always say buy cheap buy twice maybe that would be the case with this one!

That 'Velocitas' lot sound very dodgy from what I've read. Good ol' AstraVXR, adds a few laughs to the forum - that thread is also the first I've seen of Darcini's engine cover :wub:

If i were to use my phone to reply to this Tech, the word may or not come out as 'Aunt' depending on how good my predictive text was at the time.

The man is nothing short of a(n) Aunt...

I came accross a thread about them when searching, they sound truly awful. Shame really.
Really don't want to have to get a new one from Vauxhall as the £240 seems so much for what you're getting :/

I'm considering taking a risk and buying one of these spoilers from velocita because I can't find any for sale anywhere! Someone please offer me one before I buy a potentially dodgy one! I really need one because I have an 'imperfection' on my rear clam which would be covered perfectly by a turbo rear lip.

He're's a link staight to the polish guy, in case you don't want to sponsor velocita:
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=170757610076
Shpping to UK seems to be 30 euro.

One of the belgians that tried the spoiler said it was a pita, as it needed major filling/sanding to make it look right (ie perfect like na OEM).

to be honest the OEM ones aren't great either, and also need a lot of prep to make right. I went through all the effort and then decided not to fit it :lol:

Ok thanks guys, and thanks for the link, I wonder if they are exactly the same as velocitas... Think I'd prefer to buy in the uk. Guess I'll just have to get it right before fitting!

Take pictures on the status, as so far nowbody actually did that, so it's all hearsay.

If you take the plunge, please post if they are as bad as they're made out to be, thanks.

I have just spoken to him and he has agreed to give me a 10% discount. He is going to send me a paypal invoice later today. So I'll wait and see! Will let you know and post picture when arrived. He seemed nice enough!

How did you get the 10% discount? Good luck with it, hopefully they're not bad, another part of my aesthetic idea came through the post yesterday (although many will hate it!), getting close to the look I want for the car now :D
