Gibson Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 im debating putting the spoiler from a DC Cook honda touring car on the capri... but isnt this a bit barry boys? it looks kinda cool but i cant decide
X-pack-Glyn Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 its very barry boy! now go and stand in the corner!!
Gibson Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 here is the wing on the old honda
Gibson Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 lol i agree but the swept down shape of the side wings kinda fits with the shape of the capper
X-pack-Glyn Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 well mate, its your car, mine got no spoiler at all, smooth clean lines... but i shudder at the sight of any old skool ford with one of them things on.
orionmojo Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 why not trya saff cossie one, ait more sutle, andit ight jsut work
jay Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 its your motor, if you like it do it.......
Gibson Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 yea i really want a Zender one.... but they are rare as rocking horse shit... they are quite similar too the cossie saff one actually... i like that plan....
Gibson Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 its your motor, if you like it do it....... thats precisely it... i cant decide if i like it enough too do it. but i already have the spoiler (got given it) and dont have much money lol.... i wonder if its worth anything... its the genuine bonefide real deal of one of the race cars
ADY Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 I'd just put the small rubber spoiler most MK3 capri's came with if i was you, i think thats all you need. But as the others say, its your motor, your choice.
jay Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 its your motor, if you like it do it....... thats precisely it... i cant decide if i like it enough too do it. but i already have the spoiler (got given it) and dont have much money lol.... i wonder if its worth anything... its the genuine bonefide real deal of one of the race cars urm, ebay it, theres loads of chavs that would love it........ or put it on the back, take a pic an let us see??????
BudgieV8 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Agree with Jay, HOWEVER, do you really want to make a piece of Classic English OSF look like every other ChavPower Halfrauds Smash 'n' Grab pantzmobile? Get a 1970's style RGA spoiler off e-blag - it will be more 'genuine' than a Chavspoiler. - or a Capri Turbotail, but these sell for @£120 - & e-blag the one you have as someone will pay BIG MONEY for the one you have with its credentials!

Mr Sam Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 one of my fav spoilers is the one on the back end of a supra but even they look better without, totally upto you but id leave it smooth........maybe louver the rear window
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Mate, don't do it!!!!! I know it's your car, but you can't decide, so, let me decide for you!!! Have you looked into a reproduction Turbo Tail??? I was thinking of fitting one of those to mine, but to many people have said, I will lose all originality, which is fair enough! But, if mine was a car to play around with, a Turbo Tail will have to be nailed on! Plus, there is something about a TT that makes the ar*e end of a Capri look damn sexy!
Doc Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Capri to crappy .............. Oh the folly of Yoof !
caprifan Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 ...if you want a big spoiler...honestly a TT looks the best
Gibson Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Posted September 14, 2006 Lol i would love a turbo tail but they want insane money even for tatty or damaged ones.... so i was kinda thinking of other ways around it.... has anyone seen on of the zender ones i was talking about? they were manufactured for the capri specifically but i have only ever seen on of the damn things... they look great. they are quite similar too the cossie saff one which was sudjested earlier. money is an issue cos im concentrating on getting the v8 in and that is literally taking all my cash
Capri_Steve Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 who mentioned a supra spoiler??
Guest richc Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 who mentioned a supra spoiler?? that aint a supra spoiler
Gibson Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Posted September 14, 2006 lol that capper is a bit rude for me... which has made up my mind. no touring car wing! its going on ebay and im gonna try and track down a zender rear wing
Guest richc Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 yes it is i apologise, of course it is, it must have been the angle that threw me off
Capri_Steve Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Personally I think that where the capri boot slides down to where the spoiler mounts it is not long enough to warrant a spoiler other than the normal or one slanted backwards like a TT. It looks too cramped up to the rear glass otherwise...

It looks too cramped up to the rear glass otherwise... i agree which is why i half debated the tc one... because i hung off the back almost like a turbo tail
