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.

E23 one. It says BBS on it whatever that is.?
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).

I've often wondered if I made the right colour choice for my e21, but that 02 confirms I was right. smile

Wow! Those skidmarks in the mud - sorry. I mean lawn. You must have an awesome handbrake on that tractor.
This is Bernie's prototype for next year's Formula 1 cars. At least then F1 will be noisier and more exciting than the current load of old toss.
hehe

Oof.

My 240Z love is growing by the day.

that is so cool, going have to get one I fear
I had a black 240 in triple Weber back in the day. I've been looking at first generation RX7 lately, as a cheaper alternative.

It took me a few seconds, but got there eventually. smile

That's lovely.

I'd just swap the rear one for something that's not quite so large. Definitely suits a subtle ducktail though.
