Default Lip Spoilers "THE TRUTH"

Ok in the last couple of hours i have talked to a few guys from the club. Someone thinks the fibreglass one i have in my shed is the genuine one and I believe that the rubber one's are the genuine and the fiberglass are after market.
Some help please?

Indeed the rubber is genuine. I had the rubber genuine on my EB until I placed a custom spoiler onto mine.

The rubber one will have a Ford logo underneath and a ford part number, the fibreglass ones do not.

I've got a rubber one sitting in my garage if you're interested.

The colour is the metallic green, not sure on the exact name.

+1 for rubber being genuine, not only the lip spoilers but also the bigger 3 post wing fitted with the optional bodykit on EB XR6s - I currently own both.

Yer genuine are rubber for some stupid resson:S

That fiber glass one you got Shaun look's a little pox.

Mabey a bit of customizing is in order. would be hell a lot easyer to customize that thing seeing as it's fiber glass.

Rubber makes alot of sense, its alot stronger, and when some mofo tries to pull it off it wont snap.

^^

Not like you'r going to be backing in to anything with a spolier and if you do you deserve to loose it.

Rubber make's it a B|tch to prep/paint and when it come's to fitting you might find it has warped after all the work you have put in to it.

Peace a shit wish i had an SVO lip spoiler.
