No rear spoiler pics what do you think?

Dont they look different without a spoiler?!?! I think if you keep it that way mate, you need to lower it!!! The look is growing on me but could never do it. To me,it would be like removing the bonnet vent!Yours had the lower spoiler didn't it? I think spoilerless or BIG spoiler

Well I'm quite suprised on the amount of positive comment.
The colour of the car makes a massive difference.
Lower and darker wheels - anthracite , a plan is emerging...
Trim plugs, I went to halfords an got some large trim plugs, tomorrow I will be smoothing them off, prime, paint and laquer. Getting impatient and trying to fit them before the paint has gone off and ending up with finger prints in the laquer.
Some things have cropped up, although they will cover the holes, the pins are too small so I'll need a dab of silicone to hold them in, the other problem is that the off side has four holes due to the cable for the brake light so I will have to probably mirror that on the other side. There are also marks from where the spoiler was, but some paint renovator and polish should deal with that.
As this is just a look-see at the moment, I'm not planning on going down the filling and respray route yet.

Trim Plugs
OK here are a few pics of the process I went through to paint the plugs:
Halfords large trim plugs
Used 1200 wet & dry to key and smooth the surface. I found an old bit of mesh to mount the plugs on - did a few extra too!
I didn't have any grey plastic primer so I used red.
Then put a couple of coats of ordinary grey down
Luckly I had some paint (made up by the local) halfords left over from previous work put three coats on then four coats of lacquer
Then using some silicon I popped the plugs in place, they are large enough to cover the different sized holes.
Now its not perfect, and not a long term solution, but it looks better than electrical tape.

Seen it in the flesh today and looks even better! Can't say I'll be taking mine off but on Rich's WRX it looks way better than having the standard spoiler! Good temporary job of filling the holes too!

Im sorry but it looks like one of those Kia Magentis especially in green.
The blobs look slightly better with the rear lights being a bit more interesting!
Sorry but each to there own! Not for me though
