Default front spoiler

hi, i'm new here...

bought myself an 1992 escos luxury with 70k kms.
it has a painted front spoiler, when we check Ecat/microcat it doesn't mention this option. So have they ever left factory like this???

thanks

depends on your view, my car has 18's and has NOT been lowered running standard suspension as you can see it sits quite high and most people's view is that it needs to come down 20-30mm:



the decision is yours

Already found a new one...
there's only one left in europe (with a ford dealer that is), cant order them anymore from koln . 280€ without transport costs.

the ones one the side you can still order those are 150€ a piece

to be honest thats a lot for some plastic stuff ...

oh well
