spoiler has obviously been nicked in the past, so holes were just plugged.

Where have the holes been bunged? Is that a bung or a washer jet?

don't think its for sale though it's been there a while now. Looks like its got grommits on the tail gate but it hasn't unless they've been painted cos i had a good look at it the ither day. Really am starting to like it that way now

I don't hate it, but I think the whale tale makes the cossie....

It is just not the same without it.

are the 'delete aero pack' models worth anything more over standard models

my old neighbour had one without the whaletail in red and it looked wicked. much more modern.

spoiler has obviously been nicked in the past, so holes were just plugged.
Or maybe the owner didn't like the 'in your face' look, took it off and has stored it for re-sale. Can't exactly assume it's "obviously been nicked"

Personally, I love them without the whale tail. It makes them look wider IMO, sort of takes the eye away from the top heavy spoiler and draws it toward the stance (which is clearly evident in those pics)
