Where abouts in Herts?

You can pick them up from most places, SN, Ebay, ect.... And I know of a good garage in Herts that will spray.

Or have a look at DRMotorsports, they supply painted Have not used them myself before, but know people who have, not a bad word heard as yet.

Cheers Buddy
The plan was to buy a painted one from scoobyworld and then find a body shop in Herts to fit it.
I live near Bishops Stortford and Ware :-)

Cheers Geordie...I think Newcastle would be a little bit far to go buc thanks for the link to that site...I assume you are pleased with the quality? Is there much work involved with removing the std item and fitting the new one?

Hi

I bought one from EBAY and yes its ****e

Would not recomend getting a cheapish fibreglass one unless you have a very good bodyshop who is willing to spend a LOT of time prepping it.

i recently got mine bought, painted and fitted at Scoobyclinic - i made the trip from northumberland to derby and back because i heard they really good but not cheap in money.

i did buy an exact same spoiler from a local company and found it was really bad quality so end up selling it before it was even painted.

the one i have got on the car now is really good quality, paint work is spot on, except there are 3 holes left open on either side of the spoiler which you cant see unless you duck your head under, which i thought was very bad workmanship consdering i paid over £500 for it but on the hole iam very happy with it

hope this helps!
