no, get a GSI spoiler it suits the car better, any other rear spoiler looks terrible and spoils the shape,

Cheers mate! I was thinking on getting a black one?? And keeping it black?
And I'm thinking about tinting the back 3 windows black!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005GDY ... 097&sr=8-2
Will that look poo?
I was thinking because all my trims are black?
That's what I thought anyway!
Can my factory dampers be used on 40mm lower springs all round??
