Theres a rumour I just heard that there is a difference between the big turbo lower spoiler and the small turbo?

Alledgedly yes, although i havet noticed it yet.
if you had a small turbo and big turbo car sat next to each other you would spot the difference in the way they sit on the car.
im yet to see if this is true

Picture taken by a friend of mine on his drive.
Left is big turbo, middle is small turbo, right is also big turbo (mine).
Also Focus RS in the background.
Highly doubt there is any difference at all between the 2 spoilers.

Oh and the difference is that the owners of the small turbo lower spoiler's are much more likely to wear makeup

Also checked on microcat and only one part is listed from 1990-1995 interestingly it does also list a plug for the centre hole which must be the for the delete aero kits

The only difference I can think of is the type of badges at the rear.
The ST cars have "newer" badges. (TBH I think the BT badges looks better).

Cheeky cunt!
Scroll back through your PM's and you'll see that I merely commented what Rainbird had told me, I also said that I'd have to see it to agree.............I also said that it might have been the boot lid which was different and not the spoiler!
All I did was pass on the info, won't bother next time for fear of getting arse raped by all the 'EXPERTS' on this site.

That is the wrong angle to photo them from, but you can STILL see the difference .
You need to take a picture looking down the tail-gate to the leading edge of the lower spoiler. On the LT cars it sits more flush, on the ST cars, it is fractionally raised. There is no difference in the parts - just the way the leading edge is flush / raised, depending on LT or ST.
You can even CLEARLY see this in the photos posted up of the two different types.

more bubbles
weren't the early ones prone to the paint bubbling because of moisture forming in the small bubbles trapped in the spoiler,and the later ones were not because of being made from a better material/process ?
