Spoiler looks nice like the m3 type quite low and wide to follow the width of the vehicle... 8)

I really like the roof spoiler - especially AlanN's custom one. Can you still get under those darn 2m height restrictions though??? My van is 194cm tall at the back, it's a 100 so not high like a 120. Sometimes I have trouble if it's a height restrictor that's been bent down in the middle a bit. Would love a rear spoiler but might have to make it detachable!

what about one that kinda hangs off the back, bit like a 'porch' or lip, but accentuated a bit more, could mould it so it does go above roof, but not sooo high you cant go places....? 8)

Hoping mine doesn't add too much to the height, must be a good 40mm on top, Ill have to look out for the barriers when it goes on...

Height was 1 of my worries, but will just have to park and walk at the shops :D
Will try find out the colour only have a chip number, but will try find out, but I love it!
