Default Boot spoiler

Just looking at the options at the back of the S2000 brochure, they do a boot spoiler which imo doesn't look very nice.

I'm sure when I had my old S2000 they did a different boot spoiler which was small and subtle.

Seeing as Honda don't do it any more, what are the aftermarket options for boot spoilers?

Car's on order and should be here in December, I'd like to get it sorted with the boot spoiler before I take ownership if that makes sense, so any help would be much appreciated

Ta

Alex.

The original more subtle rear spoiler is still available, Alex - I had it put onto my 04.

Veilside do a surprisingly subdued and understated rear spoiler - quite similar to the smaller OEM one but very nice. Fletch has got one - have a look at the MM1 photo thread and I'm sure there will be a few where you can see it.

Yep,

Still available. I got my pre 04 spoilers 2 weeks ago.

Excellent!

I'd be interested in seeing some pics of the Veilside and the Honda spoiler as a comparison...

Can anybody do the biz?

That'd be great I'll try and pretend it's clean and just a bad quality photo or something

OEM spoiler:



There are a couple of pics of Fletch's Veilside on the MM1 photo thread, about 2/3rds of the way down the first page - one with his boot up in the air, so you can see what it looks like from top down, and one from behind. (I tried to upload them into my album and post them but without success - I think perhaps because they're too big and whoever posted them is hosting and linking to elsewhere)

Is that the Royal Navy Blue, Mark?

Hope so as that's the colour I've ordered, without ever seeing it...

Thanks for the pics guys, from what I can tell they're pretty similar...
