Now you've confuzzled me!

Ok, think about it logically... what possible two-word responses could Richard have given to the extortionate price of the spoiler that:
Was too inappropriate to type directly.

Has the first word starting with the letter 'F'.

Has the second word ending in 'LL'.

Rhymes with 'clucking bell'.

Yes? And hopefully, dawning realisation is soon to follow...

close up of a GP spoiler

The GP spoiler is the badger's nadgers. And I have seen that price quoted before. I always worry when closing the boot, as for some reason you have to SLAM the GP boot to shut it properly. I have images of the spoiler dropping off

We used to have to slam the boot on my mums Cooper (gen.1)

Try turning in the black stops a quarter of a turn at a time - this should cure the need to slam the boot down

You cant buy one unless you have a GP chassis number an they seem to be getting fussier about releasing JCW parts

Plus i thought the spoiler made the back end feel lighter at speed when i had a GP for a while

Thats what Chris @ Woodmans said when I enquired about JCW badges that you have to have a JCW registered car.
