I voted spoiler, I reckon it would look better with the bigger EL XR rear wing.

I voted No spoiler for obvious reasons.... I'm a huge fan of the look. Heres my old car if you'd like an idea of what it might look like.



And a better one of the back with it sitting next to a previous member's car which incidentally, did have a spoiler for arguments sake.


Taken at the All Ford Day in january..... (sigh) I might consider buying it back one of these days......

By the way John, It was a FUTURA not a GLi. It had rear headrests, power windows, better seats etc..... lol. I'm very protective of its memory these days hahahaha

take it off! i like them with the kit and no spoiler, but why ask us its your car do whatever you like with it! either way there are going to be people who like it and people who dont. i think that they look better without the spoilers and am planning on taking mine off later.

Heheh great minds think alike As much as I like a BA/AU/EA etc without a spoiler (or with a lip spoiler), your car looks nuts with one! Keep it or get the other version as said above :sm_headba

uhhh i can't decide, both would look good, but if i was in your position and couldn't decide i'd just leave it on. it looks awesome. OR get a higher one like the F2 as said before... i think that's what i had on my EL and it was wicked, really completed the car (mind you i didn't have a bodykit as well...)

I want to get rid of my spoiler but cbf. If you're motivated enough to get rid of it then do it. They look better without.
