Without kicking off another "To Modify or Not to Modify, That is the question" debate...

 

I'm looking for a bit of advice on the replacement of the OE rear spoiler for something errmmm ALOT BIGGER!!

 

My gaytex foam effort is peeling like a sun ripened fruit and doing the rest of my Silver Winged Beast From the East an injustice. Time for either:

a) a respray - quoted around 200 quid to get re-primed and sorted.

or b)New high level rear wing.

 

Firstly, I want it all to look really good. No dodgy joins, no poking out over the rear in the wrong places and certainly nothing like the cardboard-tastic nasties sellotaped to the back of many a Citroen Saxo round here. Any ideas on price? I need a new boot skin don't I? This will fit a standard Z back end without a wide-arch kit and the rest won't it?

 

I've been looking at those on the Z centre - would you advise to get the work done there or does anyone know of somewhere either in Newcastle / Sheffield / London (long story) that has experience fitting these to Zed's?

 

So what's it to be? Re-spray OE and keep classy lines, or go with the new wing and scare some of those pesky other motorists out of my way?

 

Advice, thoughts and experiences would be more than welcome.

 

Cheers,

Call Peter at PPS 01915237677,he can blend spoilers like you never seen before ,he will also supply you with any Paul Bailey goods,at a discount price

Sorry forgot,yes the boot skin will fit with stock arches,or you could go for the fiberglass stock one like mine ,you will need one or the other.

I have the Wings West mid-wing with intergral brake light...looks the dogs. Does obsure rear view a bit...hey but when do you have to look in your mirror in a zed.

 

There are bigger wings out their...but imho tend to ruin the "low" lines of the zed.......

 

Check pics out in rides section

why not get a boot skin and just have that, If you like the "low" lines of a zed then its great, looks much better than the stock one IMO. they if and when you want, you can splash out on a HUGE spoiler, btw, the one big mac has on is MASSIVE, I didnt realise hwo big these things were till i saw one first hand at billing and i though oh my! thats BIG!

... and then I checked out his spoiler and it was quite disappointing by comparison

 

 

Is this any good to you?? Got rear wing and perspex piece from Luke @ The Z Centre.

 

 

The BEST thing is when traveling on a wet road and the rooster tails of spray thrown into the air!! Awesome!!

 

Hope this helps.

Robert.

LMAO Sub DaveW also has the wingswest spoiler,and It does get in the way a little.

 

Mine is the same as Roberts,and It's great as you are looking under it instead of over/under it

Thanks for the replies folks!

 

I am liking ze big ones ya!

 

I like the Mid-level fella on submarine's but then I like the sound of the roost of spray and the visibility from the high levels too!!

 

Going to give PPS a ring - cheers MAC1, and see what they say. Might only be in Newcastle until Friday though, and not sure I could cope leaving my Zed all alone for a week or so.

I prefer large ones on cars and little on the ladies.

Z first and anything else is secondary!
