Title: Which Spoiler
Post by: celmacmat on March 18, 2006, 20:56
Hi,

I have just bought a 2003 Mk3   s:D :D s:D   and would like to fit a rear spoiler.

I had a look at past post but couldn't find a decent picture of all the spoilers available apart from the TRD one.

What are my options? (please if you have picture of it, could you post so i can compare)

Which one, in your opinion, is the best one to have?

Cheers.

Cel, there's a few on the pages of THIS THREAD (http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7450), but AFAIK we don't have a thread dedicated just to spoiler pics (someone will probably now prove me wrong!)

Hi, Thanks guys...that is great (you all proove me that i am really a novice when it come to forum use   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  )

I quite like the one who goes just a the back of the soft top, i like its curve and i think it is probably the more feminine of all. Now Spit, another silly question....which one is that? is it the TTE one?

Cheers

I like it  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  You've got me worried now  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Yes Cel, its the TTE Sports Spoiler. Good time to get them now, what with the '2 being discontinued and all - there should be some lying about somewhere.

Pop into your local MrT or have a chat with Mark Headlam at RMB Toyota Teeside 01642 808044. He has helped us in the past with leftover MrT bodykits at a good price, so might be able to hunt down some TTE stuff too.

The TTE Sports Spoiler definitely ISN'T feminine!!

:: puts on a chest wig and large medallion and puffs out his manly chest ::

So there!

Guys ... sorry if I have brushed your masculinity saying that I thought it was the more feminine one...

Promise next time I just say I like it better   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Like the metaphore of the hairy chest guy...disturbing picture though specially the gold medaillon on what we call in France "la Moquette" (the carpet)   s:D :D s:D  

Thanks for the tip about Mark Headlam at RMB Toyota Teeside; I shall make a note of that.

ninjinski, just how laid back were you waiting to go out on track....looks like you were listening to your radio??!!? I'm sure I can see your aerial in that pic.

Or did you have some kind of nasty 70s prog rock to accompany you around the track a la Stig stylee?   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Maybe you were checking for traffic announcements.......

TTE?  s:? :? s:?  

Looks more like the Toyota UK/MSD/Postert/alikes to me.

TTE is the banana right behind the softtop, like this:

You couldn't have possibly checked your hair - you were wearing a helmet!  Otherwise, you almost had me convinced   s:P :P s:P

Yeah, exactly. I can see the stamps on the bottom, but I couldn't tell if it has a TTE or not, if I didn't know. Well, I can see the color of the car though..  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I just think you'd help more if you uploaded them on a better place, like:
 m http://imageshack.us/ (http://imageshack.us/) m

Try it, it's VERY easy. You don't need to register or anything and you can even upload a pic with URL, if it's already on net somewhere.


I've seen the TTE spoiler live and plenty of pics of it, so I don't really need it. Someone else might like them though, so why don't you make it easier for them?  s;) ;) s;)

Here is a copy of a PM I sent to Slurpy a few weeks ago:-


 I know Dan (Ekona) got a similar one in the UK, but not sure where.

As you say bought on USA ebay from a company called Direct Sales & Design who use the tag "directcartoys". Just checked but nothing for MR2 on there at the moment (though plenty for other cars). You might like to email, presumably his "store" will have a link. If not my Paypal went to  e http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Painted- ... 8034421158 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Painted-Toyota-MR2-Spyder-Spoiler-Depot-09145_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33638QQitemZ8034421158) m
