dimis Here mate, look how fast your car can be:

Dimis, Now that sounds good. With the RX8 you can rev really high & the trick is to rev till the car (rev counter) beeps that can be as high as 8500 revs, have managed to do this a few times, reaching 60mph plus in second.

Did you get a good finish on the spoiler when you painted it and did you paint it in the garage

Primed, few coats of paint, sanding, laquer, more sanding, laquer, more sanding, rubbing compound, polish & wax so yes Adrian not a bad finish if I say so myself, lot of work though, all done in the garage :thumbup:

No problems so far mate. 6 speed

Like the roof spoiler mate, not too big or too small, and gives a nice tidy look to the rear end :thumbup1: (not that it was untidy to start with Big Grin)
Good job mate :thumbup:
