Are you guys talking about just a spoiler or air-dam, or a spoiler with integrated front bumper? (Race use only.)

Alfa fibreglass do a lot of fibreglass bits for 1600s for racing.

Cheers,

I bought one years ago from Autosport here in Adelaide, reputedly the last one in existance :!:
Considering the number of complimentry comments I have received and the fact that I've never seen another one like it, makes me think that a mould should be made with the object of reproducing the part.
It is a PAD brand (no longer in business) and is made of polyurethane, not fibreglass. I mounted it as low as possible to allow the brake cooling ducts to work properly, but it sure has taken a few belts both on and off the track :(
If anyone in Adelaide has the expertise to make a mould, I'm willing to de-mount it and loan it for that purpose :wink:
Have a look at the Imagestation for pics. use the WWW button on the post.
P.S. it only cost me $100 so there is a good starting point :!:

I looked into importing a BRE replica bar from the states and the cost of shipping was enormous. For two, shipped, it was going to be in the region of $750. Although I really wanted one I didn't think it was that worth it.

Graeme, I know someone that can do it. Are you serious?

Would I lie to you :?: :?: :?:
I'd rather it all be done locally, i.e. no shipping :wink:

Graeme, yeah he is local, if you call about a 40 minute drive local!! :)
Might have a chat about it on Friday night? but I'm pouring money into the other areas of my 1600 so a front bar isn't the priority
