Hey guys, if i can find someone that can make one, i really want to get a ducktail spoiler made the the 2g

something like this:
I like the standard flat spoiler thats on the car atm but i really want to put one like that on for the retro look
just need to find someone that can make them as i would have no idea what to do and it would look absolutely shocking!
Cheers

Rob

I plan to eventually make one for my 4th gen, but whoever makes one will need your boot/car for the entire time they're making one, and sadly there aren't many 2nd gens about, particulary with owners that will be up for loaning their car for that amount of time
And for a one-off it'd cost a fortune! As normally you split the tooling/mould costs.
Your best bet is to look into making one yourself

As the 2nd Gen boot lid is flat, can't you get some other flat boot lid spoiler and extend that?? I'm sure it will require a lot more work but at least that's a start.

you get the sandable foam that they use for things like surfboards and car bodykits it comes in slabs you cut it roughly to shape stick it on cover it in glassfibre and body filler until its good enough to use to make a mould

found out today that the spoiler only has 2 bolts, one on either side so i can just unbolt it and send it off and drive without one for a while :L there's a couple of people near me that do stuff like this so im going to go get some prices
