Bumper spoiler

Post by marinaman » Sat Apr 21, 2018 12:00 am

Hi all

Does the lower front sports spolier you see on the facelift 4.4 4.8 where its colours coded  fit the 04 3.0d  which seems to have a plain different shape lower bumper,  just wondered if it clips or glues on for a more sporty look

thanks

Hi

On the facelift cars such as a 3.0d or th 4.4 V8 you can look for a how to by Sanj who fitted the earlier 4.6 lower spoiler as it was separate. They do appear on eBay and it's worth keeping your eyes open at breakers as well for 4.6 or 4.8

The later 4.8i was lower spoiler is integral in the bumper and quite rare to come across, there sometimes on eBay but they tend to be costly. I bought one off a member on here who had managed to get hold of a spare.

There was a chap I think from Poland or poss the Ukraine selling the 4.8i kit in fibreglass for a few hundred pounds but not sure of quality or fit, but having said that a member on the E70 had a kit and recently fitted it and it looked pretty good to me and you would be had pressed to tell the difference.
