Default anyone know what this is?????

i was told it was off a 205 DIMMA

but it has a recess halfway along that i would assume is for a rear wiper arm??

has anyone seen one before or know what car it is off?

it has to be something fairly old...

Is the spoiler made of foam rubber or is it rigid like fibre glass?
After Googling the 205 Dimma bodykit i don't think the spoiler that you have is for a 205.

How many do you have and how did you come across them? It could fit to any one of a hundred cars if it's an aftermarket spoiler. Need more clues!!!

How did your mate come by them? It's not from a Dimma as they're 3-piece IIRC.

It's more likely to be a cut-out for the window squirter than for the wiper arm.
