It does look very high, mind you, your car is kitted, which will make a difference. Might be an idea to see it from other angles. It looks right in your eyeline for rear vision, which would bug me, but it depends what you think really.  s;) ;) s;)

I would like the C-one spoiler ,but cant find one im my price range
also same goes for the MK2 rev5 spoiler ,cant find one cheap enough to warrant cutting up
so though this might be another option

rev5 would have sat better

I prefer the Mk2 one, as long as the width works well with the lid it's going on to.

The MG one is going to look more like a handle IMO

The reason ive chosen this type, is the blade is separate so can be cut down to match the width ,
as long as the legs fit it should be ok ,as you say i think i prefer the rev5

iv always wanted to see a subaru turbo spoiler fitted to a '2 i think that could look quite nice (obv depending on whether a body kit is fitted)

Ive just purchased a TRD replica spoiler off ebay for $240 which would be £165 ruffly not including post!

A fellow spyder owner here has one and looks great, not only looks good in picture but in person really goes well on the car!

Deffo looks better at the rear. As long as it works out with the lamps.
My scaled photoshop wasn't too far out either.   :-) :-) :-)

it was a good photo shop mate

i only placed it on the lid near the front to show how it sat ,i want it as far back as i can get ,
i think if i shorten it to fit on the narrow edge it will look too small?
going to sit it on the car tomorrow ,see what it looks like in-situ

+1 on that, but I do have to admit that I'm not that smitten just from the lid pics. On the car itself, it might look fine.  s;) ;) s;)

How it looks sat on the car , definitely needs to go right at the rear

That looks ok I would get it bolted on run with it for a bit if you don't like it I'm sure so one will take it off your hands have you spayed it looks a ok match if not
Title: Re: Different spoiler ?
Post by: dj2k21 on April 7, 2013, 14:41
Im in two minds. I think if I was following u in a car I would say straight away "off an mg or off an evo that spoiler" it just doesnt seem right having a square spoiler on a rounded car if u get me? I think the hardtop helps but perhaps carbon wrap or paint the centre blade black? Would set it off I think
Title: Re: Different spoiler ?
Post by: StuC on April 7, 2013, 18:34
I am ok with it in the side view. I agree with dj that the HT helps. I also think it will look good with the roof dropped.

For me in the rear view it just looks too narrow. I feel it needs to be the width of the rear lights, but that would push it further forward where it looks all wrong.

I can photoshop the centre section black like dj has suggested if you want Trev?

Hardtop is coming off as soon as i get chance ,so ill get some more pics
could shop it black just to see what it looks like please

And to answer a earlier question ,
No it hasn't been painted how it came, and the colour is a good match considering its rover paint against Toyota
