I'm very happy with the fit and finish. It comes in black, so you'd need to paint it if desired.

Two years ago it cost R1479 including freight, duties, vat, etc.

Thank you! they have some nice stuff on that site!

This is definitely on the cards!

Picked up the car Wednesday and on Saturday I was already on the track. Took part at Roy Hesketh track day that was held by DY Performance. Certainly something different as this was the first time I took part in a circuit race.

The car performed flawlessly, breaks will have to be upgraded soon tho! It's rather sad that KZN lacks track venues . I will be looking forward to the next one. Just need to swop out my steering wheel. Feels outta place no matter what I do, think its my height!

Here is a picture of the one i'm looking for, I'm a bit scared to get one off ebay incase there are gaps when fitting. Only thing is the current spoiler is bolted on guess I have to fill the holes and spray the boot...

I had this one installed when I got my direct from the dealer. I did get it in 2013 though. Think it finishes the boot off nicely.

I never come across that! Geez that corner reminds me of the follow through on the top gear track. Looks like it wasn't an event cause there was no marshals. Did you just go there for a few laps or was it a track day?

Best boot spoiler in my opinion, it's subtle!

It was in January and we were on holiday in KZN for a few days.
I got hold of Mike Fogg and got his permission to play a bit on the track.

No marshals, no nothing - like nada!!
I was on brand new road tyres, and had a great reluctance to scrub them, so I took it very easy.
My best lap was 1m19-something and it's unlikely I'll get there again, so that will probably stand as my very unexciting PB for a long time.
Oh, did I say that my gorgeous white haired wife was watching me with an eagle eye too - wha-ha-ha!!
It was a good time for a bit of restraint.

Dodged a duiker on my first lap. Then it scarpered off into the bush.

Must admit that I found the 30 year old trees growing at the edge of the track a bit... well, distracting (read scary)

Here's another view of the brave pedestrian - @ 0m42
