slugger1 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) As I keep stuffing my front spoiler in (had it fixed 3 times and it's broken again) I was thinking about getting an alternative which will not sit so low to the ground. I haven't a clue what make the current one I have is so here are some pics. Suggestions welcome.

wallis Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 To be honest, from the pics your spoiler isn't that low mate! There's alot of spoilers out there on the Market far lower than yours. I would suggest maybe a painted stock lower spoiler, but not sure it's any higher than what u have? Just be more careful when driving and keep that one, btw car looks great ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Go for a urethane lip like the MVP ones as I'm guessing that one you have is fibre glass? Urethane allows movement as therefore doesn't crack if it's caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Get a Polly RMM one then it wont matter if you ground out as it is flexible, or go back to stock as that is rubber too or failing that stock active as you can lift it for bumps. As for your current lip it look pretty shallow itself so I think a higher mounting one is out of the question TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugger1 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 No worries I've just seen a pic of your car with the MVP spoiler and it looks really good. Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I've just seen a pic of your car with the MVP spoiler and it looks really good. Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking? I don't have one on yet, I think the pic you saw was a photoshop I had of it. I ran a group buy on these from MVP and theres currently 15 of them heading over from the US as we speak. You can get them from MVP mororsports directly if you like: http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=3813&SearchYN=N (ignore that it says NA of the top, they are the same ones for a TT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japlover Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Looking at the 2nd pic it seems the front lip is the same height from the ground as your skirts...... is it how you enter the speed bumps that could be the issue? Maybe still breaking as you go up it so the front is then forced lower? Just wondered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe still breaking as you go up it so the front is then forced lower? Just wondered The spoiler is actually lower than the skirts. There are 2 parts of it that catch the kerb when I exit my driveway. If I come off at an angle it's fine but not always possible when cars are parked either side. - - - Updated - - - I don't have one on yet, I think the pic you saw was a photoshop I had of it.

Japlover Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 ah I see, my apologies I thought it was speed bumps - why I assumed this I do not know..... Now I understand your predicament lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm going back to stock springs as the Tein S -TEC's that came on the car are just to low (and hard) for me. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
