Default Something a bit different - Gurney flap
Have been thinking of doing this for a while now, and after seeing Frayz's last week thought i'd do it.

Basically it is a rear spoiler for a E46 3 series BMW fitted to the rear edge of the STI spoiler.
A few guys from the States have fitted these and swear by them.... only seen one on a UK car (Frayz)

Jury is still out. Looks good on a black car, not sure if it suits a silver one or not.

If it's good enough for a RS500 is's good enough for me!

If i decide i don't like it then it'll come off easily enough.

I was thinking of one of these, infact have been for years as JimWRX fitted one of his Spec-C many years ago.

Where did you get it from and how much Gary, as I may have to go measure up......

Like it, nice touch. Will look even better longer and tucked into the corners. maybe colour coded? But then black gives it an edge.

Coloured coded would work well

Any pics of how it looks from behind the car?

I like that Gary. Think I'd spray it if I get one.

A guy on Scoobynet is going to make them in carbon, and make them fit flush with the spoiler at the ends.
This will only be on there untill he gets those sorted
