I have an Na and was thinking of getting a rear spoiler.

There are a couple of options.

There is the standard Vauxhall one which comes as standard on the tubby it think which is nice but its priced at £258.00

There are a couple of others on ebay, 1 similar to the vauxhall one but with a point in the middle at £80

And here is another at £100

Any one with a pic of the 2nd one attached to a vx?

I know the later 2 on ebay are better for value but is there a difference in quality to the vaux one?

Not sure which to go for. What does every one think?

Sorry but

aye,as a fifer I'd like to say 'naw' to the second spoiler its They first one isnt so bad, proper GM spoilers which IMO look the best come up now and again on here and good replicas on ebay don't pay £258. I would hold out, thinking of getting one myself soon. Stick a post up in car parts wanted and give it some time. Scott.

As above post, anything other than the standard Turbo spoiler looks a bit snyde if you ask me unless the car is sorted for tracking only and the spoiler is an aerodynamic enhancement. Got mine for £100 on ebay.

Lol, i just didn't want to offend anyone who may already have one of these. But what you say is exactly what i needed to hear.

[LY_Scott]

Don't worry too much about offending folk, we're all adults here. If someone has that spoiler and is happy they shouldnt give a rats ass what I think anyway. but good luck when selling the car... Scott

Ask around, you can get standard spoilers for much cheaper that £250!!! I paid about half that for a brand new one. Had it painted too!

[shiver]

first one looks the best IMO, and they do some of them ready painted.. .. £110 plus P&P cheaper than the one i got for my Alfa

[NickB787]

Thats the one you want if you don't want to pay too much, you can still open the boot

But isn't it made to attach to a sloping exige engine cover. How would you attach it to the back of a VX and will it be at the correct angle?

At the end of the day just because its a Lotus item doesn't stop it looking completely chav, imo! The Exiges whole look suits the spoiler, because it has that race car look. The VX looks minimalist with it's clean straight lines. If you fit a big spoiler on a VX you need shooting

aye, i have to agree with robfenn, but then again it is all about personal taste... just go with the one 'you' like.

I'd be very wary of fitting a big fcuk off wing to a plastic shell. At speed, the downforce could cause the clam to crack at the point the wing is attached. I know TMS do one, but I think theirs extends down into the boot and gets its support from a structural part of the car.

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

Ok

get out your flame throwers


before we start I intend to spread the weight across the boot lid and also down through and across the boot

just rested it on there for a quick look

eventually it will sit on a plate that will allow for change in angle of attack .


FLAME ON














mmmmm I'll feel all warm and toasty now

[mandarinvx]

I love it - let me know when you've worked out the best way to fit (so I can buy one )
