That is my question.

Just removing more parts from 'GFP 2' and one of them was the rear spoiler so we placed it on 'GFP 5' and im still not sure if i like it as i like the flatness of the convertible but i like the spoiler too

so what does the forum think?

On balance - no, leave it off.

I can see why you are unsure but I agree that the cleaner lines suit the car better (especially with the roof up).

+1 to leave it off.

If it was a more discrete one then maybe, but not that. Spoils the clean line of your car.

Another for leaving off. TBH it could be a stunning looking car with a set of period AMG alloys...

Seconded, that era convertible (inc the Audi 80 and E30 BMW) have a lovely flat profile and the spoiler does it no favours

the coupe (which had the AMG kit) did have 17" AMG's but they were shot so i bought these 4 years ago and i did not want to get the same ones again but when these need replacing it will have 18" AMG's again

cheers for the advice

im not too keen on drilling holes in the boot either

i actually like it WITH the spoiler. with the wheels and bodykit, it just finishes it off, IMO
