Got this spoiler off someone on here bout 3 months ago (advertised as Caribic Blue) Got it home, was Arden Blue Finally got round to getting it resprayed last month and then this week, finally got my arse in to gear and fitted it! 
I know my car is reasonably standard, but, I just want to do reasonably discreet things to it - next mod is definitely lowering. 
Sorry for poor pics - wanky weather and dirty car + bored me = this post! 



Forgot to shut my door properly :

And this is just an experiment - after a Post 97 version of this bumper anyway - just removed entire plastic bit of grille to see if air feed etc is improved and also, just looks better than grey plastic! :

Any comments at all? Sorry for loads pics!

the problem with irmscher spoilers is that its generally bigger then a genuine vauxhall one. Doesn't look as good. but its a start

The vauxhall ones are slimmer so look less chunky and blend into the car more . Looks good though

No I did decide to share the ideas with other people tho to see what they thought! May just leave wheels if not or powder coat sum Cav ones.

Yeh except buying wheels from a scrappy is a bit dodge! Prob got hairline cracks or buckled if their in a scrappy - IMO anyway
