Styling Touches

Post by Phoenix » Fri Nov 23, 2007 2:44 am

Does anybody know the names of the spoiler and/or splitter on the car in these pictures? I've no idea where to start looking to get either of them but they're really cool.

Don't forget real Trophy 160's didn't have fog lamps from new (as far as I'm aware) :

so these "Trophy spoilers" must have been modified some way. If you get fog lamps you will need the lamps and fixing brackets, the looms, the relay and the switch. Make sure these "copies" are ready modified to take fog lamps or not before considering a purchase. See the picture above and you will see a real Trophy spoiler.
Bilstein shocks, Piper 4-2-1 manifold, Daytona, Vader cold-air induction, custom Z and F Stage 2 re-map, Electric boot release, braided hoses, Blue Magnecor leads, Technozen relays, Stage 1 head, BMW Angel Eyes headlights, "MG" puddle lights.

The same chap also sells the front splitter without the foglamp fitting -

Regarding the rear spoiler, on closer insection it does look slightly different from the proper Trophy one. Mind you a blind man running for a bus probably wouldn't notice the difference :roll:

That's a very interesting rear spoiler - and it does seem to be the same as that one on the eBay trader's site. I have got a pair of their air intake ducts on my car, and the quality is reasonable (I had to polish the gel-coat finish, but its fine). I am considering going for the front spoiler with the integrated fog lamp trim - anyone got experience with these? :)

To my surprise, used in conjunction with my airbox and air duct to the nearside air duct, this thing actually seems to make a difference. :thumbsu: Will have to figure out a way to quantify this though - as all I have are subjective impressions.

Anyway, back to the plot: I am considering going for the front spoiler with the integrated fog lamp trim - anyone got experience with these? :)
