you made earlier??

what did u make it out of then??

because it looks well made..

[ANDY J]

the usual stuff sticky back plastic and glue


fiberglass and filler 2 plates 2 nuts and bolts and 2 holes in the roof and lots of elbow grease

[minipixie]

doesnt look too bad! have u thought about making the seem between the spoiler and the roof smother?? if that makes sense? dont even know if thats possible actually!

looks alright tho!

[ANDY J]

hi there thanks for your comments but ive got a little more work to do on it before im happy
not sure what you mean but its not going to be blended in to the roof its just a bolt on bolt of spoiler
you could blend it in but the misses likes it as it is thanks

[ANDY J]

cant get a good look with just the back! what bout a piccy of the whole car?

[Bobby9779]

I'm not usually one for spoilers on minis, they look abit OTT

But amazing work you've pulled it off, looks great!

[miniallsort]

thats nice me like i wont one

Hi mate, it looks good, but in my opinion (since you asked i hasten to add...) is that the curve isn't quite right against the minis lines on the back... I would suggest maybe having something a bit more rectangular shaped, the profile however is nice and i like it.

It's hard to describe wht i'm trying to say.. I think it needs to be a shape that looks believable on a mini, it looks great but i would try to make it look less like a 'universal spoiler'. that's not an insult by the way, if I was anywhere near as good with filler and fibreglass as you I'd be fecking over the moon!

im sorry but no pics of the car until its done or in primer as its not very nice at the min :'(

[Jammy]

Looks good, quite subtle, which is whats needed with a roof spoiler on a mini IMO. However I'm not one for adding bits to a mini where there not needed...

[Snowfruit]

I don't usually like spoilers on Minis, but I think that one looks good. Great job

[ANDY J]

thanks guys and gals for all your comments keep them coming
its nice to hear what people think still a long way of finishing the car will try and get it done for the last show fingers crossed
