Just wondering if it may add a litle 'excitement' to the bland rear end.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

yes i've had one. but its now well in the rubbish dump.

dont get one mate. there nothing like the pictures. its a soft rubber thing that i do not know how they manage to paint it

the paint will not stick for very long

i left mine black. normal colour. they look sh*t. its very hard to get a good curve on the boot .

i took mine off months ago and binned it ..

i offered it on this forum for free but no1 wanted it :lol:

im a bit undecided on that tho yet,
Maybe once ive seen one on a 406 itl help me make my mind up,

the Little lip spoilers are a no go for me either, they just look like a Bump strip off a car door :supafrisk:

I also bought one, as I discussed with Gary around the time he got his.
It is sat in the "car bits" cupboard of the spare room.

Mine was unpainted too, and I initially painted a bit of blue on, but really need primer to cover the black. Never got round to primering it and properly painting it or fitting it.

Was hoping to make the rear boot of the 406 more E46-ey.

Would probably suit a Xantia as it has an E36-ey upturned bootlip.

Not sure if I will fit it to the Honda. The rear of the Accord Coupe is a large bootlid deck that is like an aircraft carrier. Could do with a bit of "decoration".
