can;t comment on the front.... but back is in part to do with usa regs back then.... the two blocks were bumpers that were for the us market, i've even seen hideous blocks for the front along similar lines.... though at the rear i think there should be a splitter below the blocks hiding the back box....

I believe the front spoiler is factory fitted for the US. I believe at the time there was a minimum height for a front bumper. Most owners removed them once imported.

Don't buy a US car is my advice. Extra cats, extra bumpers, extra reflectors, lower resale value, having to inspect it first.

The front spoiler can be removed for not much money, to me that is not the detraction.


Onno

Factory fitted eek really . What were they thinking . I should imagine it effected high speed cornering somewhat also , must be awfull driving with that stuck in front of your nose . I wonder if they actually helped keeping the front end pinned down . Looks dreadfull though . I'd forsake what little difference it may have made and binned it or stuck it on top of the rear spoiler laugh

Agree there should be a splitter at rear , but the lights and back board looks wrong too , is this an after market addition ? . It's all wrong ain't it ? Looks dreadfull .
