    Front Spoilers?

    Hi ppl Im thinking of adding a front spoiler to my Sandman and am looking at this one.
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Holden-GTS-Mo...item519443a2b3

    I know this is an after market item, but Can anyone tell me if the original ones were a 2pce item, and are they straight forward to fit?

    Thanx

    Front spoiler

    Hello Gaddy
    We bought one for $180 from a reputable wreckers, it is a rare spares one, and yes they came in two pieces, not sure how hard to fit these will elaborate when Absinth comes up from the hobbie room where he is fixing our dashes

    Origninals where two piece. If you got a plastic one jennie for $180 well done!!!!!!!! Rares dont do plastic ones anymore. The originals where plastic. I have a few original ones here. The repro ones now days are all fybreglass.

    No ours would be fibreglass Jason

    And Gaddy
    To make them fit you need to shape the inside of them, so they fit the front, use a dremil to shape them...we are doing ours in about a month, or rather the panel beater will, I may get to take some pics for you then....that one on ebay is prob just the same as the one we bought from Rares I am thinking....

    Ive fitted both the Two piece and One piece. Found the Two piece easier to fit only thing is be prepared to cut air dam holes in your lower panel.(where they flow air to your braking area) I think they look awesome, Im in the procedd of modifying one to suit my front now.

    Let me know if you want pics etc of size of the air dam holes. I have some pics and measurements from my HZ GTS and my HZ Sandman ute. Both have original fronts on them.

    Gaddy Rodney said if you want the brake duct holes to look authentic like Holden did it in the 70's you don't need to be very tidy, the edges of the cut on vans I have seen were not perfectly straight cut lines ;)
