I have just had one given as a fathers day present early as I'm going to the pod tomorrow. It appears they got me a medium sized one from halfraud. Let's hope it fits. Will let you know later as I'm waiting for the rain drops to dry off the car before I try it for size.

well, halfrauds cost 45 quid and the medium is a snug fit so with the larger spoiler it might be wise to go for large.

Here's mine (throw over covers chaff if outside in the wind, and your car needs to be clean before fitting
