Just to let anyone know that decides to buy this rear window spoiler. http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=9050 It does not fit the preface lift model. just got one today and it doesn't fit but I've grinded it down and got out the fibre glass kit!

Gary, you guys in the Republic have my utmost Respect! You get what you want regardless of anything put in your way!   Look out Northern Ireland!

Does say 99 onwards, that indicates facelift

Where did it not fit? Thought the rear windows were the same 

[GaryC2.5td]

the spoiler was too long for the window so that means the window on the face lift models are wider and there is a radius at the top of the window where the window meets the roof on my model (preface lift) where the spoiler was just straight across

tunnie i did see that but i thought there wouldn't be that much in the difference and some one told me they were the same oh well

Pish, the body shells (and therefore the glass) are the same pre and post facelift for the money, I'd have expected alot of reworking

[jonny2112]

Strange. I definitely didn't think there were any physical changes in that area

I am with you there, I did not think there would be any difference. Sure the glass and rear body shell is the same. 

But as they do indicate a year, must be some diffenence

Probably the same generic part for several cars for £51 I very much doubt that they even measured the original mould

[jonny2112]

Good point al. Bit unfair really to advertise it in this way, although it does indicate a MY

I got a front spoiler from another Polish company and when it came, it looked like they had got an original Irmy part, made a mould from it and started making parts.
It's not perfect but it even still has all the Irmy markings on it! Lol....

Can't wait to see how this turns out Gary.
Good luck with the FrankenSpoiler!
