I picked it up. The white paint finish is not perfect on the fibreglass material...it looks a little mottled under sunshine....the black is ok but if you were picky of the freehand design is not 100%. I have not yet stuck it down. Tboughts?

I think you need a set of the elusive aero skirts to go with it. There is nothing wrong with it. But at the same time your car looks great without it. I'm on the fence, but I'm interested to know your final decision.
 
When I was looking at buying my Z I had this spoiler in mind. I quite like it from the rear but the "fatness" of it looking from other angles like the top turned me off - seems too stuck on because of the large surface and thickness.

As for your car, I think you would need some other parts to compliment it - wider wheels or spacers/lowering and maybe a black front lip to match.

Not hating it though!

It's a biggy decision as once it's on its on!
 
My thoughts are it’ll be a bu@@er to clean n polish in certain parts IMO... & that’s one of the Zed’s endearing features, very few ludicrously stupid louvres so makes cleaning a pleasure, not a chore.
 
I can see a real advantage in having the spoiler. I notice there is a useful gap between it and the boot lid. If you cut yourself a length of wood and wedge it in (when parked) it becomes a very useful picnic table. Image the surprise on your other Half's face when you slip in a length of wood!

The aero skirts look so good on white, really compliments the lines :fuelfire:

And I’m still unsure what to do with the spoiler.... although if I do buy the 3.0Si coupe I’ve 100% got my spoiler lined up... I know a lot of people won’t like it, but I don’t care... I’m sure there’s enough purists that hate my car already on here :rofl: :fuelfire:

The black spoiler ......Great spoiler, you'll never be without a picnic table!

Do Halfords fit as well as supply? :poke:
 
It's a no from me. Think it spoils the lines of the rear, and as already mentioned looks too thick and stuck-on. Maybe if they did it in three parts, with a tapering section on each rear wing... but I think it looks a bit clumsy, on a white car especially. And I'd love to have a white E85, in fact half the cars I've owned over the past 30+ years have been white.
