Might be interested closer to home at Silverstone, later in the season.

While I'm at it, a mate of mine would be interested in one of these rear spoiler featured on that pic (below). I read that these Abarths are prepared in Turin but does anyone know if that spoiler could be found somewhere in the UK?

I'd suggest a taste transplant for your mate IMHO of course

Couldn't agree more!
Not into sporty looks either but hey they (ie Abarth maniacs) probably think our cars are dull!

Dull > Tacky

Aftermarket spoilers are almost always tacky on roadcars, I love the 306maxi below but if I had a 306 I would NEVER put that spoiler on it or any other one for that matter. It's just naff and pointless on a roadcar unless you're doing a 100% accurate replica.

P.S I would sooooo be on the sex offenders register if left alone in the room above. Don't care if this ends up as someone's sig either

We'll be there, though in or around the pitlane, anyone who knows me/Emma and sees either of us, please come and say hello.

This is link to the flickr page where you can see some pictures from the test last week at Silverstone, and from Snetterton a few weeks ago that Emma took, it was her picture of the car outside our pit garage at Snetterton to advertise the Silverstone test.

PS the Trofeo spoiler is very expensive, the machined alloy brackets to bolt it to the tailgate are exquisite, but very pricey. And then there's the beautiful anodised red engine mounts, works of art, but again eye watering expensive.

Expensive.....pricey........ how much are we looking at, even roughly?
You seem to be in the know and well into it, could you please let me know how to get one of these spoilers or aleast to enquiry about them (not interested myself, I'm just a messenger ) by personnal message not to bother others? Cheers!

The spoiler is adjustable, and comes in at about 500 Euros, the front very large splitter/spoiler (can see lots being broken over season) are about 260euros each from what I remember.

Genuine motorsport parts are never cheap due to small quantities made and the very tight tolerances to which they must be made to.

I know that the Clio Cup engine mounts are 1000Euros, so it's not just a Fiat thing.

Thanks for that.
Last thing if you don't mind, do you happen to know a link, a website or something to enquiry?
Tried to google but so far nothing.
