z3 spoiler or not

Post by nobynom8ss »

Sorry for asking but any way at present on ebay there is a spoiler sorry cant put on link but it is item 250702111562 (looks like the one put on mx5s ) Thing is i like it . At present mine as got front spliters on it and as such i think it needs some thing at the back to finish it off .What are your thoughts if any good or bad over to you ? .

There was a bit of banter on the small lip spoiler I fitted recently :lol:

Personally I feel the one your interested in is too large, plus I would avoid anything that requires drilling :shock:

Is this the same spoiler as fitted to Snatch's LS3 powered Z3?

Don't do it!! Absolutely ruins the look of the car. Looks like a throwback to the eighties, my mate had one like that on his mark 3 Cortina, looked s#*t on that as well!!

Like someone told me the nicest Z is coming without a spoiler. And for me that's true. Now I know.

How about this for a spoiler? It certainly puts everyone's subtle lip spoilers to shame!

Please dont do it.
Do you really like your Z?
If you do you wont stick that on it. The rear of a Z is curvy and seductive. If you put that on it you convert it to a tart :twisted:
Now if you like tarts :roll: :twisted:
Sorry

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
