Which wing to order?

Anonymous · January 9, 2004, 22:49

I assume you want a wing for aesthetic purposes... I personally prefer the small TT-esque wing Toyota offers.

After much indescision on my part and not being completely happy with either wing I've now decided......................I'm going to order the street slider wing/lights from MTTE. It works out at £1020 inc import dutiesand freight etc so wont be until the end of the month s:-( :-( s:-(

Dont want to make the same mistake I did with the celi, ie buy what I can afford only to change it later at even more expense s:-( :-( s:-(

I wonder what that will look like with the trial kit?

I have never personally been a fan of the Damd wing/lights because once they go on, it's no longer an Mr2 Spyder in my eyes.. It just looks like some ordinary sports car... s:(

I'm looking at spoiling myself (excuse the pun) with a rear wing and the toyota one looks the least OTT.
Does anyone know how much these things costs?

I paid about £300 for mine fitted and painted from MR T

so if you change you car so its not the same as every other roadster out there its then 'ordinary'

cant honestly see the reasoning behind that one?

As with everything tho it is as you say a personal taste thing

On the TTE spoiler I paid £244.95 inc vat painting, fitting etc from Airdale Toyota

Thanks guys, but I'm sure the TTE spoiler is the one pictured below:

I'm wondering what this tiny spoiler is called see pick from current ebay lot (and no, its not my car!)

That's the Toyota spoiler, you are right in thinking the TTE is the one Perry has that mounts benind the hood.

Any dealer should be able to supply the 'Ducks arse' one in the eBay pic, it was around £350 fitted when I bought my car nearly 18 months ago.

Don't get me wrong, I like it too, I've just always referred to them as 'Duck's arse' style spoilers! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I did consider it when I bought my car (hence the price), but came to the conclusion that I had spent enough s:? :? s:?

£350 is a bit steep for what is essentially a thick ruler!

Can anyone point me in the direction of reputable websites selling spoilers for the MR? I just love the wing on the ipitythefoo's red MR, it seems to blend well with the back end

I agree. I guess the cost is because it's Toyota. Personally I like it's subtleness. I also think a wing is really required, just like lowering springs.

I should wait for a GB (unlikely to happen) or scour ebay in the vain hope someone is selling one. No chance I'll be duped into shelling out £350 just yet.

will have to see how much the C-one wing costs and compare, this could take some time s:)

No, I didn't say that.
I said that that wing in particular makes this car look like a completely different car from the rear IMO. therefor in my opinion I don't like it.

But there is no need to discuss. It's just my opinion(like I've mentioned a couple of times!).

I look forward though seeing pics when it's been mounted on. Never seen a '2 with trial kit and DAMD rear lights.

btw, Let me know when you've gotten the time to take a pic on the side of your '2. never seen a profile shot of the trial kit... s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I was only questioning your use of the word 'ordinary' in respect to the car with the DAMD wing on?

Any change to the 'norm' is by definition not ordinary, it may not be to your taste which you made clear it is not, but ordinary?...No s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

(notice i didnt feel the need for bold print either s:wink: :wink: s:wink: )

Obviously it won't look 'ordinary' on your trial equipt car. And come to think of it, I don't even know why I used the word 'ordinary'.
It's just that in my opinion.... s:lol: :lol: s:lol: just kidding!

So to put it in another way... I just think it makes the car look different. (whether It'd be ordinary or out of the ordinary!)

I guess what RedRaceR meant was, that in his opinion, the wing makes the car no longer look like an MR2, just a-n-other sportscar..

I'll shut up now s:D

See it's things like this that aren't fair, making me think about spending money I don't have.

This was the spoiler I was looking at last time this topic was around.

s:(

s:( Wonder if the credit card will stretch further?
