Do it then get something else for the Motorway, leaving the Teg for fun

Spoiler delete is a factory option on ATR's iirc. Unsure whether it's all models or facelift only though.

Surely that would be a Spoiler "no fit" rather than them fitting it then removing it?

ChrisD. · 6 Jun 2012 at 10:20

IIRC they come from the factory fitted with one, it was then a dealer option to have it removed, hence spoiler delete.

Not when you're ticking the options boxes

It get deleted from the specification, rear wiper delete was on on the DC2s aswell.

EDIT:

Dealer changing stuff on a car is not a 'factory' option.

I'd been drinking, I meant dealer option.

Stumbled across it when i was looking through the for sale bit

Muffin` · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:11

yeah I just had a search myself and I found it, is 190 the market rate? I've no idea. I got my cat back twin loop for 250, that was a steal. In fact I'm positive it was nicked

rjk · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:14

yeah that's about it.

mentions it has been re-welded but sent the pictures of it to my mechanic who is questioning its authenticity and also saying that the angle of the bpipe to the connector at the back box doesnt match up.

i can understand if it has been re-welded as it says so in the thread. but it has a small hole in it and the join looks creased.

190-220 is the going rate muffin yeah

Muffin` · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:19

paypal **** him

rjk · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:19

here are a few pictures.

pic off the net for reference

Yeah i think thats fairly cheap to be honest. They seem to normally go for a little bit more.

There's a good replica being made by Jperformance which a lot of people are going for instead now. With the forum discount its only £129.99.

MADE IN JAPAN!

China

rjk · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:29

thats all well and good but i wanted a genuine one in at least decent condition.

this looks like a right hack job.

I think it may be time to PM the seller and see what he has to say.

Muffin` · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:34

well unless he stated it was a replica it's nothing short of a full refund

rjk · 7 Jun 2012 at 14:37

no mention of it being a rep. the wanted thread i posted clearly stated spoon n1. the pics he had of it looked fine but there was no specific close ups of the dodgy weld job.

PMd the seller. lets see what comes of this.

rjk · 7 Jun 2012 at 15:26

its being refunded.

Good outcome.

That tubing looks to be mild not stainless, just look at that corrosion!

Is the real Spoon SS/MS?
