View Full Version : Wrap around gte spoiler??
right my on going strip down and respray is starting to get running but i was speaking to the chap in the bodyshop who is going to spray it and he said that you cant really spray these spoilers as the finish will be ****?? so whats the deal with the original gte 1s?? because im sure they are colour coded?? cheers:thumb:
The finish will only be crap if he cant be ****d to prep them properly.
lol but i work next door so i am helping it to be preped lol but its rubber?? so how can you rub it down but tbh i have preped 1 before and it came out all matty :S
The SR ones were a kinda rubbery plastic, were the GTE ones the same, or GRP stuff?
Ahh right. Sorry, im not au-fais with this weird MK1 stuff lol.
Obviously GRP wasnt invented in those days lol
Hunt around, you may be able to find a fiberglass one, i know you can get fiberglass GSi spoilers...
tutut mk1 is the way forward!! i dont know wheather i prefere the gsi :S i need a gte front bumper asap!!

The GTE ones come pre-primed when new but not sure if they a different material. Try getting a GTE one then repaint it.
Remember if you just use a grey one there are two different colours, 83-87 is grey and 87-90 is blue/grey.
