Right opinions needed I bought this Genuine Kamei front spoiler from Good old Ebay.de, it came with a fitting kit and original instructions too ;D So Today was the first chance I have had to mock it up: What do you think..... should it stay or should it go And If so, black (thinking about having Black J-type arches as well) or Body colour It will have a black bumper eventually as well when I can find one if that helps make your mind up ;o) All opinions wanted, good and bad, so don't be shy ;D Cheers Dom

bottom and top pic are on the curse word.
i reckon something a little plainer wudve been better, but i would say that, as mine has somethign similar.
i say go for it.....but it needs to be in the weeds to make it work properly

Leave it black, once the cars dropped it'll look a hundred times better.
Not to sure on that fitting kit though ;D

Not to sure on that fitting kit though ;D No The Tank Tape was my Temporary fitting kit ;D Ride height is exagerated as we are on quite a Hill but yes it does need slamming for full effect Springs are 400lbs/in -1" Ascona/Manta springs which are standard height on a Kadett so they need chopping, but I`ll do it when I do the ARB Drop links and the Konis ;D

Not sure... its hard to tell with it being higher than it should be. Go for it, you can always take it off again if you don't like it i suppose.

Undecided. I think it looks 'bobbins' at the mo. It might work when it's lower, but I thgink it might brake up the smooth lines of the styling too much. Maybe a small one on the valance as you see on some mk1 scorts?

Dosent relly match the car imo, if you had arches and it was done up like a race car then it would look good but not with the chrome bumpers and euro'ish look it has now

For comparison Its going to have a Black bumper and be more Bozo than Euro ;D Engleman Manta 400 Mirrors 7x13's and 175/50 yokos AE86 J-Spec arches are looking favorite at the moment if I go that route (Thanks Datsfun) Lower..... Lots lower ;D

You`ll have to excuse the "German" touches.... Airbrushing and "Badboy" bonnet But this is what it looks like colour coded and lowered www.opel-clan.de/freunde/nils_kadett/nils.htmlI am still very undecided, hence the Poll, so please let me have any views on it, for and against.......as it will help to make up my Mind 95 views.... cant be only 10 opinions on it surely Cheers Dom

Not too sure Looks a bit out of place to me ATM but I'll have to see with it lowered and the arches on.

You Star Matt ;D I`m still not sure either but that picture is pretty close to what I am aiming for..... ;D Same mirrors Similar Wheels Black rather than Chrome bumpers But you get the general Idea

think its to deep doesn't flow with the car but thats not to say it couldn't be modded its a good spoiler and it needs somthing as the front valence on yours was worse than my blue one but it may look alot better with the arches and lowered

I don't think that one suits. But it does need somthing fitted to the front valance. Possibly a MK1 escort bib spoiler type but that mijght be too curved
