    Default Spoiler plug holes.

    Hey fellas.
    I'm thinking of taking my spoiler off but I don't know how much I like the idea of these 'spoiler plugs'.
    People have said they're good whilst others say they aren't too crash hot.

    Does anyone have any pictures of their car with them in?

    It depends on the colour of the car I suppose. Black plugs on a white car would stand out for miles whereas on a black or dark coloured car they wouldn't be so obvious. If your car is the one in your avatar then they should look ok.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Yeah it's on that car, it's not idea but desperate times call for desperate measures. Do they sit flush?

    They stick out like dogs balls, but as said obviously same colour, less obvious, although when up close, they all are obvious

    Theres my before and after.
    Hard to tell but there is a tiny bit of paint damage under where the spoiler was.
    Looks perfect now they've been cleared up.

    First picture is with holes,
    Second picture is with the holes welded and sprayed.
    The plugs look exactly the same as the holes, mine were five 8mm black grommets.
