Wondering what people's thoughts are. I'm busy respraying my black car. Fairly stock looking but will have a front lip splitter type thing and side skirts. I'm just debating on what to do with the spoiler. It currently has a stock one, which isn't too bad, but also isn't the best.

 

Wondering whether I should stick with a stock spoiler, or go for a different one, or none.

 

Anyone got an opinion?

I like the original with the brake light in the centre

Stock.

That's my general feel too. Although I do quite like joels

Save yourself "buyer's remorse" and stick with the best available.

Yes, but what is the best available?

The original '89 spec spoiler. The Z32 designers got that right from the outset.

Go with the one you prefer, not what others prefer.

I know what you mean bud, but I'm asking for opinions. Plus when you ask for which is best, obviously different vendors may differ in quality

I had a mid-level rear spoiler on my old Z and I thought it looked the bees knees.......BUT it ruins the rear view from inside the cabin ! Lambo headlights and a Lambo rear view !!

Yup...:wink:

Think I'll get a oem replica. Car.mad does these and the other one he made, but not sure which I like more

It fits like a welly in a shoe box Lee ! it looks perched and wont sit flush with the boot edges,And in order to reinstate the 2 trims that clip on the boot lip you have to leave a gap by setting it further back, then the spoiler sits to far back it hangs over on the rear so the line that flows from the rear lamps into the spoiler ends up a step.

What do you mean by stock?

Wise words.....

 

I bought the fibre glass replica many years ago for my red Zed - did the job, but it never sat as well as the proper OEM version. I currently have the same thing on my blue Zed; it was fitted long before I bought it - and TBH, I just cold not be bothered with removing it and going back to the original.

 

It's not bad, but from seeing Simon's and Andrew's cars, you can definitely see the difference!!

The original 89 spec rubbery one

Thanks a lot for the advice on this - There's that one out of the question. Do you know what the OEM replica one he does is like, or does your comment suit for both of them as you're most likely to have seen everything you can get for these cars. And if so, do you know what/where does the best ones?

I read on here some time a go the car mad fitted well if i remember rightly the ones he first made he wasn't happy with there's a post on here somewere

That car mad one is my old zed. Did look nice but like Jim said, the rear trims that clip on the boot lid wont fit, I left them off mine.

So is there a better option available? TWINZ maybe?

I was going to order one didn't know about trim clip

I personally cant stand the original OEM spoiler. The TwinZ type II though I really like.

 

I’m quite fond of the TwinZ Type 1 [emoji56]

 

Fits well, looks well, sits well!

 

to see in reality, but I find that the type 3 is more modern
