Hey guys,

Toying with the idea of taking the rear spoiler off my pending EL XR6 (see pics).

Can someone Photochop the spoiler off for me, so I can see what it looks like?

Any verdicts on yay or nay welcome!

I see you're 39. Take it off and they'll all think you're 18!!!!!!!!!
Leave it on!
Cheers, Bob the Codger

EF taillights and no rear soiler is the way to go.

rear spoilers look good with a car thats got a full bodykit...if it all matches in

they look dodgy on a car without a full kit...

thats my 2c

Yeah, that's what I reckon!

Just had a few people say it would look better without, but I agree with the whole complete bodykit thing.

have tested this theory and i can definatly vouch that a wing without the rest of the kit is a bit wank.. so i took my wing off n is soooooo much better now... pics in gallery... check out post wing removal n clear taillight installation.. also with EL ghia chrome number plate surround... -i just havent taken any photoes of it yet....

Depends on whether you want to fill the holes left by taking off the wing AND repainting the boot. Unless travelling OVER 120kph rear spoilers have negligable effect .
I think they look good on the cars they came on but it is all in the eye of the beholder.
:P 8-)

Hey Skye, and welcome to the site.

If Brenz has any sense, he'll marry you!

Whoops, sorry Brenz...
