V8Star wing spoiler
« on: 29 July 2010, 19:10:29 »
Might have found one that looks a little less crazy than the original item but still in keeping with a V8Star replica. Looks like the one that used to sit on the butt of the BTCC Cavaliers/Vectras.
Opinions welcome.

Why oh why was there never a V8 Omega????
Such a missed oppurtunity.
Look forward to the Cadillac ATS & ATS-V. Maybe a re-badged one will replace the Miggy as a RWD runner?

J.C's 95 (IIRC) Cavalier.
We had them made specially, so finding one to copy is as much of a challenge as finding a V8Star spoiler?
Personally, I don't think the spoiler will work (in the looks department) as well on an Omega either.

I think something like that cav one would look much better than the racer's spoiler. But personaly I'm not really convinced by the idea of a race car replica as a road car, and I think your LC tribute was a better idea. That V8 Star series Omega isn't really an Omega anyway.

This is correct as in truth it is a "sillouhette car" with a GRP body but i personally think it looked awesome in the miggy form and deserves some recognition.

never done it myself.. read an article in a (vw) magazine of a guy who made a replica tt using a scirrocco base. (why?) all the panels were reconstucted out of fibreglass with suprising results if you know how.

(first site i come across)

I'm guessing that this is an idea for creating a whole new body shell????
Maybe a bit too extreme for me.
