The spoiler i have on mine isn't a topmix spoiler thou topmix do an exact replica mine is a core sport spoiler made by a company here in Ireland, but i'm afraid i don't have the details to hand, But having said that my advise is "STAY AWAY FROM IT :x :!: :!: :!: " It may look the mutts nutts but it is a bad design. mine is cracked and has done so before a few times and i got it repaired but i have just had enough of it constantly cracking so i am going to be changing it to a GPvR spoiler. It cracks on the bends of the upright supports as there is no central support it flex's alot which puts alot of strain on the supports, and it ain't just mine i pointed it out to atleast 5 other owners on there topmix spoilers at JAE last year,

Eagle F1 tyres

Postby keville » Tue Jul 29, 2003 4:56 pm

Ciaran,

I got in touch with the Guy for the tyres and the prices are as follows;

(1) Eagle F1's €150.00 with VAT invoice

(2) Toyo Proxes €125.00 with VAT invoice

(3) Eagle F1's €130.00 (cash)

(4) Toyo (not sure would guess about €110.00 (cash)

I also got a price from the north for the Eagle F1 and they were £86 stg +VAT so the cash price from the boys is a lot cheaper especially if you compare it to Advance @ €180.00 per tyre

Anyway let me know if your interested because he can't get the eagle's until after the holidays but the toyo are no problem :wink:

What size are the tyres you're looking for? www.eiretyres.com are doing a 205/40R17 Toyo T1-S for 107.30 euro. Toyo's are the best tyre I've ever driven on - sticky as hell and pretty hard wearing.

last year,


thanks for the info daz, maybe ill give it a miss. if your throwing yours out let me know. I might be able to modify it with allu brackets put filler on it and then get it resprayed rather than spend 400 euro before it even gets put on the car. you can do alot with fibre glass repair kits.
