Split?
Just took a quick one outside the office - car is dirty from a weekend spent in Kerry. Theres a front shot in the album - I'll stick up some decent pictures when I get a chance.

I actually like it, I didn't think I would, but I do! That said, I think the 'no underpants' look suits the car better and I'd consider myself a petrol head

Grand - Well then I'll make sure I don't wear any to the meet! :lol:

Front shot - but it does look a lot better in the flesh - looks bigger in photos for some reason.

I've had both now and still don't know what I prefer TBH. But it does look very different in the flesh.

Core sport or version r for me, i'm not that fond of the hiro a little to high and would block what little vision out of the rear we have imho

Hmmmmm, did you have to mention corresport..... I remember having one of them :cry:

Car going in body shop tomorrow for repairs to her back end. I'm going to take the plunge and go for the bare ass but leave the flush panel on that used to go with the corresport spoiler. Going to see if they can blend it in a bit, if not just fitted back properly and full respray on boot lid. Hopefully it will look ok :roll:

and not too..................

sorry mate , the hiro IMO is one of the worse designed spoilers around, i seen one similar on an alfa 156, it totally destroyed its sleek look, personally id go bareback it i had nothing else or back to standard spoiler

but credit where credits due, lovely job done on the sideskirts :wink:

The standard spoiler would look crap with the Top Mix splitter and the DC skirts. The alfa spoiler is very different - far more rounded - and a spoiler like that just doesn't suit 4 door family cars.

Its down to personal taste really - I didn't know what I'd prefer and TBH - the Jurys still out - but you honestly need to see this spoiler in the flesh to see that it actually works with the lines of the car.

Or you could stick a Hiro on top and go for this look -
