I had this idea and spoke to phil at carbon delight about them, he will be making them in fibre glass and carbon, saves paying mega money for a 500 spoiler

will be ok, but surely there will be a raise in the spoiler wher it goes over the original?
Ste i think the bloke you are talking about cut his off and bonded the satin black end and gurny flap on

The joint between the black gurney flap and the coloured part of the 500 fin is flush so the add on ones will always be obvious up close as they will have a ridge at the join.

The only way to do an exact copy would be to peel off the black part of the original 3dr fin, take a mould from a genuine 500 one and then bond it on so that the joint is flush, which is a hell of a lot of work.

Also the original part no starts H88, where as the 3dr one starts v86, so I doubt anyone will be fooled into paying 500 money for a converted 3dr fin.

These add on ones will be ideal for track cars, converted 3drs etc though as they will fit to the hatch properly, rather than having to bond them on like the fibreglass copies

surely that will be under alot of pressure as it's designed for higher down force so will have to be bonded on with something strong.

this will just give people somthing else to take the piss out of when they see cars at shows with them stuck on

a bit like having a fake T shirt

People will always pay big money for the real deal

I never even knew there was a difference but as 3rd/500's have always been out of my price range I've just looked on in awe!!!

As for the job,very neat,I'm sure my mate sold an original for £600 on eBay,or do they do a lower spoiler as well?

Windscreen sealer will hold that on fine.

If I was to give one of these to a proper bodyshop and then get the wing resprayed do you think it could be done without trimming too much off so that i'd end up with the correct width?
