i like the in the quote "spoiler can be changed if desired"

by **Myfeckin FTO** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 3:50 pm

Well - It has a stupid spoiler, eybrows on the lights and a shopping list on the door but aside from that its actually not all that bad - all this junk can be removed easily. It is another "98"?? with the old style indicator pods though - the FTO was facelifted in '97 so this wouldn't seem to make much sense.

On the plus side it is a GPX manual mivec and has a roll cage - what looks like adjustable teins and a nice set of lightweight alloys.

Stoopid asking price though! Its probably worth about 12K.

Is it a roll cage ... blue yoke?

by **Dave** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 4:04 pm

yup it is, don't know if it's of any use but seems to run in and around the back!

Its an aftermarket bumper, so maybe it only came for prefacelift lights when it was put on? The bumpers with facelift lights (bozz, t style, etc.) is only a recent thing as far as I know.

Yes, it looks even worse than the pre-facelift cloth IMO. I has blue on black cloth in the GS and I think it looked the nicest of the lot.

With steel prices growing exponentially (like oil) I'd say that spolier is worth a fortune. 14k asking price (including spoiler) sounds reasonable to me :wink:

I knew I'd seen this one before :idea:

Some more pics for your viewing pleasure!

It actually wouldn't be too bad if the legs of the spoiler were cut in half.
Loose the stickers and the eyebrows and you'd have a decent manual GPX with some nice mods like SS exhaust/Roll Bar/17" Rays Alloys etc - IMO better than a standard GR with steel wheels and no spoiler in any case. :smt019
