stock spolier/ spoiler question

Post by maxleng »

Does anyone have a stock spoiler (seen below) in black?
Image

how much are they worth?

and do any company's make replicas? had a look on google, couldn't really find anything (the tacky designs of aftermarket websites gave me a headache and i had to stop) anyone recommendations?

Also would this sort of spoiler below(i think it's veilside, no idea though) leave any holes in the bonnet? and if replaced with a stock spoiler would there be any noticeable signs, such as holes or marks?

Image

one more thing, this car here :
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dea ... &silo=1011
says it's a gpx in the description but has no GPX badge on the back. Could it have just been taken off? It is a MIVEC though..

cheers :)

My car didn't have the GP sticker on the back either

They must have something to hide because the VIN is a dud...

Not all GPXs have a MOMO steering wheel. Mine doesn't.

The vin wont be a dud. it could be a typo if its not working in caps also got to remember to drop off everything before the de3a.
