IMHO without skirts n arches they look poop anyhow.

And ive only seen 1 (i think) S2 with no spoiler (red one in a mag ages ago) and that looked poo too.

So taking the above into account, removing the spoiler will complete the look

i recon removing the spoiler and not fitting a kit will make it look like a escort bonus with a turbo bonnet


why not fit S1 arches to it and a 90 spec spoiler

Now ive seen the pics im tempted to say leave it as it is

Deffo dont put the spoiler on without the skirts n arches IMO.

Looks quite subtle in a good way at mo, IMO needs some smaller DTM/Cup mirrors tho
