I'm putting the finishing touches to a long term rebuild and have always liked the look of ''ducktail'' rear spoilers, such as those found on RS Capri and Porsche 911, but I was hoping to find examples on other 60's, 70' & 80's cars.

If you have any photos they would be much appreciated.

What I've done, is had a copy of the e21 ''ducktail'' made in fibreglass. I was thinking of painting it in the body colour of the new car (Laguna Seca blue) and seeing how it looks? I can always go back to satin black if I don't like it? Alternatively, I could try a ''ducktail'' from another car? Hence my post here.

Manufacturer. Same as BBS wheels.

The initials BBS are based on the last names of the two founders and the city in which the company was founded (Baumgartner, Brand, Schiltach).
