Default Runabout - Thought I would spoil her....

Spoiler, get it?

Had this E46 M3 lip spoiler kicking about for months and thought I would get of my aRSe and fit it.

Sure it isn't to everyones taste but comments welcome.

I did have but being a 1600 it was too slow and I needed three turbo cars to really mess with my finances lol. Don't think I took any pics from the side but can do tomorrow.

That looks like a B5 model A4, but as far as I know they didn't make any RS4's in saloon using the B5 platform - only S4 in saloon and RS4 was in the Estate....

Unless it's a german import, or my eyes (which are tired, as is my brain ) is wrong and thats a 6 not a 5?

Is that exhaust system/backbox standard? Looks really suited to the car whatever it is.

It's a custom one I had made up for my old estate by a local company. My brotehr is a bit handy with a welder so made it fit this when I got it. Only a temp fix until I can afford to put a Miltek on.

As it was on the estate


Tape was on there as I was going to put it round Silverstone but the wife went absolutely mental
