CCI do a fibreglass version and they're based in Worcester. Trying to find a mint original rubber version nowadays is going to be nigh impossible.

:goodluck:

CCI don't do them and fibresports don't make them either. Just looking for an fibreglass replica, from what I can see there time consuming to make.

If my car was good enough to spend that much but it's worth a cheapo fibreglass one. Lol.

Thanks.

Yeah just a fibreglass one. Can't pay these crazy prices that people ask for a original one.

I paid £100. Don't know if good or bad.

My dad could make these out of fibre glass if he had one he could make a mould out of. Same goes for the front spoilers people have too. They'd be top notch quality as well, as he used to build fairground rides and toys, even built a ocean going yacht once out of fibre glass.

I have the sides and the top section of one. Was going to use it to build one out of two but found difficulty mating the replacement bottom section to these bits as they seem to "set" into position, or so these bits seem to. I'm looking to sell them if your interested.

I paid just over £300 for the bits as they are very good condition. Just a shame I couldn't get them into the lower bit or it would be on the car. Ended up bodging the donor spoiler back together with tiger seal and bolts to a reasonable state and fitted that instead.

Let me know if you want pics. Looking for my money back on it (nobody laugh). Proper rubber spoiler not fibreglass.
