hey peoples, i have been thinking about doing this for ages and ages - i dont know if i should ditch the rear spoiler or not - the only reason its on there is cause ford slapped it on when the car was being built, should i keep it or take it off?
(i know the pics are from crap angles, i just did it in the carport last night :S)
and i would save about 5kg of weight off the back of the car too...and get some areodynamic help? all the better for the quarter mile, my dear...
I cant vote at the moment, i cant decide... I need to see it in the flesh. everytime i see his car, i think about what i would look like without the spoiler...
whoever ordered my car new from ford ticked the "optional bodykit" box, with that you get a bigger than normal spoiler, and the add-ons that go around the bottom of the bumpers and the skirts.
if they didnt tick that box i would have only the little lip spoiler, as that little one was what you got with a normal XR.
i love the little 'lip' spoiler, but as far as i know they are bloody rare? if anyone knows where i can get one it would be appreciated...
i cant decide hey - when you drive behind my car (like when OED666 and i swap cars for fun) the spoiler looks tough at night, makes the back of the car look 'phat' lol - especially as it slithers off sideways into the night hehe.
a lip spoiler would also hopefully save me the hassle of getting the holes filled and stuff - if any of you have one, can you tell me how its bolted to the car please?

they are held in by 6 bolts which are moulded into it and double sided tape. i dont think the lip spoiler will go in far enough to cover your existing holes. the bolts go just above the rear garnish.
I personally believe you should keep it. Even though the lip spoiler would look a littler better, without a spoiler wouldn't suit. Especially since you have those skirts on your rear bumper. I think they go hand in hand with spoilers...

Go to the gym and lose 5kg then it wont be a problem.
