Little project finished

stevestrat · 17th August 2013, 17:41

I've had a wee project on the go, finished it today. My ZT is now sporting a wing spoiler. I've always liked the wing and lip spoiler combination, especially on a black ZT, looks mean to start with and the wing gives it even more attitude. Thanks to Mark for the wing and those who's brains I picked about fitting it.

Im fitting mine soon aswell how hard is it to do mate

Well, on mine it wasn't that difficult. The forward holes were marked on the underside of the boot lid, biggest problem I had was building up the courage to drill the holes! The wing had a missing captive nut at one side, to simplify matters I modified it to studs all round so positioning the rear holes was straightforward once the front ones were drilled.

Yay another double decker!

It does make the car look meaner and people seem to think the car is faster than it is. I suspect they think it means its a V8

Looks awesome cant wait to get mine fitted just got to finish off painting with some Laquer then attempt fitting, although mine wont be as easy as it is a pre MG model no markings!

Sorry Steve, looks entirely wrong with both the pram handle and the lip spoiler fitted.
One or the other, but not both IMHO.

Personally I find the Boomerang a little bit over the top for my tastes. I find the understated look of the lip spoiler perfect.
