Where's my spoiler?
« on: 02 September 2009, 15:12:30 »
I have asked this question before but cant remeber the reply I had...
My 2001 MV6 never had a rear spoiler fitted and before you ask it wasn't a former police car.
It just dont look right to me..
Any suggestions?

All looks genuine plus I had a report done prior to purchase ( thats no guarantee I know) If it was a rear end bump in its past surely replacing the spoiler would hide the fact?

It wouldn't have been taken off. It wasn't fitted to the boot lid at all as there would be screw holes at the ends and evidedence of adhesive tape. It would have been a standard fit though I would have thought???

But no normal person would request not to have a spoiler fitted.. It'd be like asking the main dealer not to colour co-ordinated the bumpers as you like them matt black

I have heard of people speccing far weirder stuff that "No Spoiler"

As above, I think someone just ordered it new without one......

There could be a million and one possibilities really, as mentioned rear end damage that wasn't recorded so wouldn't appear on a hpi check. Much easier to replace with simple non spoiler bootlid. I could be mistaken but, I don't think there are drill holes attaching it, just some form of adhesive. So could have simply been removed. If you think, a rear spoiler could be worth £75-£100 and if the previous owner didn't really care for it...make sense to sell it. Or as said could've been specced without it. Does it have the MV6 front bumper?

Lip spoilers aren't screwed on.  Don't think they are available any more (seem to recall that the supplier was ProDrive in Banbury), which may explain why it hasn't been replaced if it has been damaged

In reply to Josh's comment about the MV6 front bumper. it has the usual rectangle fog lamps with the black louvered panel running between and has the headlamp washers. not sure of any other types to be honest but someone here would know. It must have been either supplied without or had a replacement bootlid ( chances of getting one in the same colour surley would be difficult in Gold) No signs of any scratches due to it being prised off..
