Help identify a front spoiler.

Postby lancsman » 15 Oct 2010 11:35

I don't know what you are asking exactly. But below the front bumper, on most stock cars, is a spoiler. Usually it is bolted on. On this car it looks the original one was replaced with an after market one.

He's asking can anyone identify the after market front spoiler on the car advertised on Ebay [;)].
I've seen one like it, but don't know the make of it [:(]. I can't see one like it in the Rimmers catalouge either[:(].

Yes that's it. I couldn't see the front spoiler in the Rimmer's catalogue either.

looks like the one from the Viper kit but as it's not incorporating the bumper may well be a triumtune spoiler

no longer made i'm afraid

Is it a viper kit with the bumper area painted black?

The bumper on this car goes all the way to wheel, and on a stock car it does not.

you tried ringing the guy selling the car to see if he had the car fitted with it or knows what it is?

I had forgot how good the Full Viper Kit looks [8D].
John and RJS are correct, Viper front and rear [:p], but no side skirts [:(].
Seen here on the yellow and blue cars.....

My preferred tactics too but in this case the seller originally bought the car with the kit already fitted and doesn't know the origins of it.
