Ok was thinking of a DTM stype front splitter with Tech 2 sideskirts and leaving the rear stock, thoughts?

am thinking of heck spoiler on the boot at the moment too.

any thoughts or suggetions?

want something slightly different that isn't going to cost the earth.

I've always liked the IS front spoiler with the SE side skirts and then either the standard Heck spoiler or if you can find one the tech 1 rear spoiler.

Tech 2 stuff really looks good when it's all fitted but when just using a bit it alll becomes a bit diss-jointed.

Tech 2 side skirts/pods are between £150 to £200 where as an IS lip £50, SE skirts £40, rear heck spoiler £15 or tech 1 around £70. Works out cheaper and will look good.

Another option would be the replica Breyton kit that has front & rear valances with side skirts. IIRC there is a company producing it at around the £200 mark.

The cheaper the better, plus i want to keep the rear stock, i have a full custom stainless steel system front the factory manifold back, with a 3 inch pipe in the standard cut out which i want to keep, plus its lowered and the back box is rather low, a rear skirt would get ripped straight off on a speed bump.

IS front with SE side skirts sounds good and i was thinking heck spoiler as its a cheap and effective way on enhancing the rear. Tech 1 spoilers are currently going for about £150.00, well the ones i have seen for sale are anyway.

I assume thats a tech 1 spoiler in pic, i know the heck is not that big.

Looks good plus mine is schwartz so would look very similar. apart from my wheels and exhaust.

Yes its a tech-1 spoiler.

Wheels were an aquired taste but they were cheap :)
