Have a look on eBay at these replicas, they look fantastic!
£315 inc. P+P painted in Gloss Black!

They also do a primed one, for £235 or best offer. You could probably get one for £200.

I think it would come out cheaper to get one for £200 and get it sprayed? The only difference that I noticed to the original GP spoilers, is that there's no carbon fibre on the wing section, however, it still looks cracking, and I imagine you wouldn't notice that once it's on!

I'm thinking of getting one, apparently you don't need the little notches in the glass for this to fit and it will just fit any standard car with the original rear window, R50, R53 and R56 too!

Thanks liam, but they are a bit to expensive.

olly, cheers for the links. i like the look of them and are a way better price.
the only problem with getting a primed one is i dont think you will get a good result from spraying it. maybe paying that little extra might help in the long run? unless you take it to a proper spraying place? but i might have to get one now, been looking around for a while and really starting to like how they look ( more sporty and mean ) and are a good price.

Hi mate,

I wouldn't pay that then try and spray it yourself , i would recommend getting it done by a pro, just shop around and i am sure you will get someone that gives you a good price.

You can get away with spraying small parts or alloy wheels but body panels even a different colour need to match with regards to paint finish.

Pretty sure olly meant take it to a pro :)

All the best on your new spoiler :cool:

No probs , one thing i do know is that paint shop quotes differ a lot! one of my friends even put an add on gumtree saying he wanted a panel sprayed, he got a guy replying saying bring it to his work on saturday morning, obviously the boss doesn't work on weekends lol , got it done for a very good price.


Like everything though you get what you pay for.

Good luck mate.
