Is that in case you break down and want to push your car home like a sainsbury's trolley. ;D ;D ;D
Chi - man, thats toooooo large. Get a Pug one or one like Lee's. Or even one of those ones that are a little larger that the Pug one but the same style.

Sort of WRC style? But a bit slicker. You have to be careful with a big spoiler like that, you have to have your car looking quite beefed up before you stick someting that large on the back IMO. Theres a 206 near here with no body kit on it at all, and it has the same spoiler shown there, it puts too much bulk up there compared to the rest of the car, and just looks silly. You need to have an overall balance of visual weight throughout the car, but thats not to say it cant be done.
There are other spoilers similar to the SP one but a bit bigger, which might suite what your after. I know they used one in the Haynes Max power book, it was from the ecosse virutuel kit.

This is same spoiler as my car. Does make difference to look of car. don't know how much but just make sure it is done right. Ask about in your area. Must be loads of painters round about u in London, not in the wilds like me!
ps Only place in north London I have been is c*ckfosters tube station.

ecosse do a good line up of spoilers.... if i was to get one i would go for but since am prang about anything poking out my car (that can be so easily snapped off, dnt ask how i no) i wont be getting one.....even if they dont manage to take it off they'l do some sort of damage in the long run...

That spoiler looks nice M3. The second one is like mine I believe. I (obviously) prefer mine to any others I've seen for the 206!!
As Big says the 206 doesnt look very good without a spoiler. I recon it looks like a turtle. But the spoiler makes it look like a wheel barrow!! ha ha ha ;D

Just out of interest how are these spoilers attached to the car as I keep hearing of people who have had them nicked.

Why do you put a spoiler on a Lada? To give you something to hold onto when you're pushing it.
The old ones are the best........ ;D

Peugeot ones are fitted by sticky pads and screws. Theres not a lot you can do to stop them being nicked.

MR g theres two option of spoilers.....one stuck down with that no more nail glue for example...the second option is to drill to holes on the top sides of the boot to allow a bolt to pass through to the spoiler to hold it down.......with the stuck on option if it does get nicked they'll peel the paint work off the boot and if its bolted down they will simply brake the spoiler ...either way not my cup of tea....rather spend the 200 quid it would buyin n fitting it on shoes or summin

mr g, i know a goood bodyshop but aint ask him yet how much it will be......i am guessing in the regions of 50-70.
if i do get it, then i would prefer it to be drilled on, so if someone does want to steal it, then it wont make life easy for them!!! also because i live in such a sh*thole!!!!
i am not a fan of the bi-plane/double spoiler, because to me its higher than the car and i dont like that look.

Each to their own!!
My spoiler has been bolted on and has some clear glue type stuff, prob to make it water tight and to hold it on tighter!!
You can if you want get it moulded into your car but that would cost much more, would look alot better tho!!
