Whilst I could post this on GL or SBO, most people on there are a long way from here.. so I'll ask here first.

What is my best bet for buying a Kamei (either original or copy) front spoiler?

I know that there are occasional group buys on SBO, but that would still be hideously expensive to post out here. So what are my other options:
- e-bay
- fibreglass copies
- what else?

Thanks for your help

Richard at V Force makes very similar

This is one - and 99% sure Jak's is one as well

Thanks Guys,

I forgot about Richard, and he's only 10 minutes from my office, I'd better give him a call.

Mine's one of Richards... have grounded it a few times and still going strong.

On the "do they do anything" question, well IMHO they help a lot at higher speeds. One time at Lakeside I went out without it fitted, and up over 130kph Jezzi was quite floaty in the front end coming down the straight. Scarily so actually. Next run had the spoiler on and all good again.

So yeah - higher speed stuff they rock, but prolly naff all distance at normal road speeds.
