Are there any other options, other than super expensive IS ones?

Would Mark 3 golf (or any other golf for that matter) fit? or would this be sacraficial? :mad:

I know there are also Aplina AC etc etc

164cm at the widet point

But it does flare outwards at the ends to meet the front arches. I suppose it could be made to fit. But its not a straight fit.

hmm I was thinking something a little more subtle than an evo spoiler! Rest of the car is going to be standard.

I remmeber when everybody used to have laguna chin spoilers. Had though about it, but its so 1999! :mad: And everybody will know its from a french car.

Don't think there are many options really. You either have the usual thin black lip, the iS lip or the M-Tech II kit (assuming we're talking post facelift).

The only other one i've seen is a Reiger lip spoiler which is more expensive than a genuine iS lip from a $tealers (about Ԛ£140). It's modelled along the lines of the Evo2 splitter Rich mentioned but it fits regular E30s.
