HZ front spoiler from rare spares

[agr071]

Last year I bought some doors of a guy. I also bought an unused one piece fibreglass front spoiler. Besides the obvious, what is the difference between one and two piece?

Mine has a fibreglass one piece front spoiler. I think the Rares ones hook around the guard lip to attach in the wheel arch, whereas mine ends flush with the wheel arch.

The two piece front Air Dam from rares does not wrap around the front guard.

The plastic ones are easier to prepare and paint than the fibreglass one.

Fibreglass two piece with wheel arch lip return.

Wolfey's Auto 1/Rare Spares at Dairy Farmers Corner, Hunter Street, Newcastle. (Many,many years ago).

Purchased in a heavy duty plastic sleeve with rare Spares tag stapled at one end. This sat on the bottom shelf at the shop for a long time. Perhaps not very popular back then.
They used to sell L88 and the 'letter box' bonnet scoops in a heavy duty fibreglass black gel coat back then also. I missed out on the L88.

originals were 2 piece. that's the only difference. (that's if the one piece is made to exact specs and shape etc...

I was talking to Greg from Rares yesterday and was informed they now do. ?

So are the Rare Spares ones OK now?

[gregbark]

Both Rex Spares and Rare Parts WA should have stock of the part. You can view the part first,if it is possible for you. As stated they are not for original GTS vehicles.

So are they good for a Sandman then?

[stickthis]

GMnut. I spoke with Greg the other day about this. I still don't understand why its not ok for GTS. Unless they are slightly different shape to the original spoiler? GTS and Sandman used the same lip. They used the same metal front.

Would be interesting to put my genuine airdam against the repro. also try the repro for fitment on my genuine GTS front. Don't see why it wouldn't fit...

Call me a cynic but my guess would be that its retail speak for "We won't give you a refund when it causes you to miss out on that trophy for factory authentic".

I'd b interested if there's a difference....
