    Mine has a fibreglass one piece front spoiler. I think the Rares ones hook around the guard lip to attach in the wheel arch, whereas mine ends flush with the wheel arch.
    BO6 = Rarer then a Sandman

    The two piece front Air Dam from rares does not wrap around the front guard.

    The plastic ones are easier to prepare and paint than the fibreglass one.

    Both Rex Spares and Rare Parts WA should have stock of the part. You can view the part first,if it is possible for you. As stated they are not for original GTS vehicles.

    GMnut. I spoke with Greg the other day about this. I still don't understand why its not ok for GTS. Unless they are slightly different shape to the original spoiler? GTS and Sandman used the same lip. They used the same metal front.

    Would be interesting to put my genuine airdam against the repro. also try the repro for fitment on my genuine GTS front. Don't see why it wouldn't fit...

    Call me a cynic but my guess would be that its retail speak for "We won't give you a refund when it causes you to miss out on that trophy for factory authentic".

    Got me stumped.
    Here's the page
    http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespa...roduct=GMH1015

    Title says "except original GTS"
    Then down the bottom it suits HJ Holden, HX Holden, HZ Holden, HQ-HZ Monaro.

    If everyone wants to give me $5 each I'll go buy one and compare it to my original on a HZ GTS and try it on an original fronted HZ Sandman.
