Mugen Spoiler - Genuine or Replica?

When you say special brackets, do you mean black strips of metal that also have the mounting screw holes cut out? I don't think it's fibre glass....

Andreika pretty much summed it up, they came with or without a brakelight for a fee. I've got the original brochure at home.

As for whether this one is a copy, I would say yes for two reasons:

1) The original fixings use a flat metal bar screwed to the spoiler, of which there should be 4 pre-threaded holes which sit either side of two recesses. Then there are 4 'C' shaped clips that clamp around the bar and boot and secured with allen key grub screws. You can see them on the link Nitin posted. As yours seems to have the screw points in the wrong places and no recesses I'd say its a copy.

2) The second thing is the undersides of the overhanging bits at each end are usually painted from Mugen. That looks like black gelcoat to me - used in fibreglass moulding.

Just my thoughts.

But either way, still a great looking spoiler. It's one of my favs and you got it for a steal.

Cheers,

Rob
