JAP STYLE SPOILER

[Jaimie]

Hi guys, I'm currently planning a project on an Iceberg Silver PH2 Clio Extreme and I'm curious about a couple things.
First of all, I used to be into Civics (A LOT) and recently decided to go over to a clio as they seem like a great building platform, on the Civic EG, most of them use these type of spoilers and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about there being one for the clio? As I think they'd suit it.

And also I've seen one similar to it from the 'Clio Trophy' and they seem pretty hard to get a hold of?

Thanks guys.

PS. if the images don't load, this is them in order of the post

To be honest, they look s**t. But that's my opinion, it's your car, do what you want.

Leave Jap spoilers in the Jap scene.

 

[Jaimie]

I get where you are coming from, what about the trophy spoiler?

 

[Knuckles]

It'll probably look s**t, even the v6 can barely pull off the duck tail spoiler.

@Carbonraider knows where to get trophy spoilers if I remember right

 

[Jaimie]

The one with black accents seems to pull it off quite well? IMO

 

[fairm010]

I think that has ruined uniquely good looking car (the V6 I mean).

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Agreed. Cars like the V6/Trophy should be exclusively left alone.

 

[Jaimie]

Thanks for the input.
so does @Carbonraider know where to get these from? How do I contact him? relatively new to this forum so I apologize for lack of knowledge.

Isn't that just a Trophy spoiler? If so, was on one of 500 or so made cars, but there are copies of them on eBay, search specifically for Trophy spoiler

 

[fairm010]

You've tagged him in this thread, so he'll be alerted to that. Or you could click his name and personal message him.

Just as an of interest, the original struts and spoiler from Renault is £550 lol.

 

[Jaimie]

I think it will have to be a rep then:tearsofjoy::sweat:

If you keep tagging @Carbonraider he'll see and chirp in here.

He's not a supplier, so no point pmming him, I just have it in my head that he knows where to get them.

He works nights too so you'll probably get a reply some time tomorrow morning.

1 series struts work too don't they? For a fraction of the cost.

@Carbonraider

@TheEvilGiraffe as well, I'm sure he'll know.

 

[Jaimie]

Why would I need struts?

 

[Jaimie]

But thanks guys

Why would I need struts?

You need smaller struts because the boot won't open as far with the bigger spoiler without hitting the roof. Iirc you can get pattern struts for about £100/pair I think

 

[Knuckles]

Why would I need struts?

As addicted said.

The trophy spoiler is bigger so will foul the roof when the boot lid is open.

So you need shorter struts so you this doesn't happen.

But you will hit your head when going in the boot lol.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Aye the 1 series struts work annol.

Iirc they're only £30 each?

 

[Jaimie]

Is that the BMW 1 series struts or?

and ohh okay haha, I'm 6'1" so might be a lot of head hitting 😂

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Nah, you'll be fine at tha height.

 

[Knuckles]

Nah, you'll be fine at tha height.

Will he f**k.

I'm his height and I almost blinded myself on my mates 182 after he fitted a trophy spoiler lol.

 

[jesus]

1 series bonnet struts should be used, not boot struts. FYI.
