why not put a fibreglass rs500 on top - will save a lot of money

good luck finding genuine parts and for reasonable money too

i just got the lower front bumper 1 of the bloke off ebay and im not too happy with it, it wants alot of work and not a very good fit, so just beware if you buy the top spoiler tip if its the same quality as the front bib

Defo get the 500 spoilers.
Both mine are fibreglass, had them sprayed same colour as the car, no matt parts as it isnt a 500 so didnt want to make out it was just liked the styling
