I was always put off by the whale tail if I'm honest. I will be replacing this one with the wrc rear spoiler and will probably debadge it.

True but that is what a Cossie is defined by...if one went past at 130mph you would know it by the daft spoiler. It’s just what they were defined by in my era.
