Ive been wanting to do something with the rear end, to go along with the Stillen front spoiler, and finally decided to go for this. Its from a Vauxhall Vectra and is available for £262.00 The Vectra is a very similar sized car, and as you can see by the way it fits on, i shouldnt have a problem fitting it to my P11 rear bumper.

Nice...but not so tall.
Needs to be a few inches lower down then in the pic.
Style of it looks good :)

I rang Regal Autosport today, and the guy says that its made of fibreglass and its solid as apposed to hollow. The only problem is that its about 4.5" tall. The one i hav is 4" tall and it scratches when i pull off kerbs or out my garage. I dont know whether to get it now. Unless i can somehow raise the rear end a bit for clearence. Any suggestion????
Heres a pic of my rear end.......... not mine personally, you understand, but the cars!!:D

Thats what I like to see... a shameless Primeraweb (http://www.primeraweb.co.uk) plug.... :)
Anyway, if you are bottoming out your existing setup, getting something even lower is asking for trouble if you ask me. You DO NOT want to raise the ride height of the rear of the car, as you will no doubt screw up the handling big time... and have ugly looking wheel arch gap too :(
I say don't get it - either find something that will fit properly and not get ripped off within a week, or just keep your existing setup...

Ive had a word with the bodyshop today. The plan is, it needs cut-n-shut anyway, to get the tail pipe in, it needs extended abit too, so hes gonna mount it a couple of inches higher, but instead of it fitting underneath like above, hes gonna blend it in at the sides of my bumper, so it looks flared. With it being fibreglass, its easy to work with in this way, and easy to blend in.
Im gonna go for it!! Wish me luck!:D
