    Front Spoilers

    I need to purchase a front spoiler for my replica van. Don't really want to use a fiberglass one as fiberglass and dirt roads are not the best pairing. Has anyone used one of the plastic units supplied by this company:

    Any feedback would be appreciated. Also open to alternative suppliers of plastic units.

    Anthony

    I have purchased a few items from this seller and all were good.
    I have a fiberglass one that I was going to fit to my van but after reading this ad I might buy one and see what the difference in quality is.
    The fiberglass one I have needs some cleaning up around the edges before it's ready for paint, prob moulding dags.
    Not sure what Jen n Rod used for their resto but it looks good on the van.
    Thanx for the link by the way.

    This is the first plastic repro version I have seen. Mine is F/Glass. Would have used plastic if it was available when I did mine. If they fit OK then they would have to be better than F/Glass.

    Rares fibreglass one we used...took a bit of getting on, and fiddling and grinding, so far it has stayed on over our rough roads...

    I remember reading somewhere that they were plastic from the factory. Can anyone confirm this.

    Ah good timining. I am need of a new one as I was going to get mine repaited but when I took it off I found it had major cracks in it.

    Kingswood parts are a bit on the exy side. I wonder who their supplier is?

    This looks like a goer though.
