Front Spoiler

brook308 · June 16, 2014, 08:30:48 PM

1st spoiler out of the mould, just need to trim it up, mount it and apply some paint.

Fitted the spoiler today, welded in some captive nuts via large washers to where the front bumper bar would normally mount.
Used rivnuts in the guards. Got a go kart seat mount kit from ebay for the hardware.

She's on and hopefully won't fall off!

Still have to pretty it up with some paint but am pretty happy with the result. Will be making another one tomorrow for my sons GTV6.

About the only contribution I can make here is to ask the question whether you feel that the radiator is going to get enough exposure to frontal air ingress ?
Otherwise looks tough enough.

Yes will have to open it up at some stage, will leave it as is for noosa and leyburn, will open it up for lakeside. Might make one for hill climbs and another for more than sixty seconds.

Last time I took her our for a few laps I lost #1 liner, water/methanol will hopefully let me get it back on a circuit again.

HaHa, yes you're right I should have some spares on hand given our previous outings.

They're pretty tough though, I managed to do a bit of ploughing in the paddock testing the turbo and the spoiler survived!

Don't quite know how well they'll stand up to gumtrees, rocks and cliffs

The wazza version has extra reinforcing to deal with excursions.
Fitting this weekend I think.
Started my 4th today, lovely shade of white!

Thanks Frank, means we can break one and have a replacement in days.

I'm not sure if you can even buy a new stock front spoiler anymore.
