So, I have a spoiler fitted to my car, soon to be replaced with a MS Style version though.

Whilst I was being wound up at Joe's today, I noticed that Maria had one fitted to her car, but it was fitted differently!

So, which is fitted correctly?

neither - the spoiler top surface is supposed to be fluch with the bootlid

Yours is "more wrong" though...

Definately the yellow one. The silver one is too low.

Love the cover, dislike the wood finish - am I missing the spoiler on the brochure ?

Yours might be more wrong but it looks "more right". At least from the back.

I believe this is the correct way of mounting the spoiler?

Lol, cheers Mike laugh

If you look to the left of the first photo, you'll also see a Chamonix green Coupe bonnet and my old bent bonnet from when I crashed my Coupe in 2006 laugh

My old porto had a zender spoiler. Also fitted wrongly, more like Maria's than yours Phil. Yours is VERY wrong, but I'd bet that's not the first time you've heard that tongue

I have to agree with gj - spoilers by name, spoilers by nature! Everyone to their own though - the black wheels on the Flying Scotsman are not universally liked, but I love them love .

Same wheels as on Custard.

Thankfully Custard doesn't share that spoiler. I'm in the Tim camp hurl

Nor do blended skirts suit imho. But thats another subject that's been covered on here before smile

Removal comes behind (subtly) tinted windows and colour coded head-lights though!

It is actually, rightly/flush mounted (as in broschyre) very good for decreased drag - whether you may like it or not.

There's obviously only one spoiler that LOOKS good on the Coupe.. smile
