That thing got a Hemi?

how do i make a custom spoiler ?
i have made the shape of my spoiler using sheet styrene (plastic card) but i need to somehow make the plastic into a curve, because i dont want the spoilers "lip" (the bit between the end paltes, the actual spoiler) to be a curve and not straight. how do i do this ?

Hey,
Get a pen, or your hobby knife. Try to bend the plastic around the knife untill you get the shape you desire. I think that's what you were askin? Good luck. Frank X. |

I don't know if this of any help, but you can always try with aluminum. Check my 320i Jagermeister thread

Don´t know how thick your spoiler is or what exact shape you´re asking for, but maybe you could do like this if bending it does´nt work:
Take some pretty rough-grit paper and wrap it around something round like a marker pen. Then start sanding along the spoiler until you get the desired, "curved" shape: Good luck!

Build it out of multiple pieces. Its rather easy if you think.
