Default Is the new spoiler too big ?

Just fitted this spoiler to my MK1, and was wondering if it looked too big and imposing on the back. (not much I can do about it now though). It was named a WRC spoiler on Ebay in the UK.


What do you guys think?

Apologies for both the MKII badge and the exhaust.

The badge was just a bit of fun and the exhaust is out of the US. For some reason the whole CAT-back system is too long. I need to get it cut down and all the hangers moved. More expence !

When I saw the question "Is the new spoiler too big ?" and "it's called a WRC"
I thought...OMG.... this will be some hideuous monstrosity.

But no! The spoiler is quite tasteful, a little like the RS spoiler. It looks good.

But please lose the MarkII badge!!!! The poor LR will get schizophrenia and loose at least 6kw LOL

Spoiler looks fine. Quite tasteful and quite bold without being over the top. The MKII badge can stay.... but only if it loses a "I". :P

Lose the cannon and lose the MkII badge!!!!! Not sure why you've got a US exhaust on there unless you got it dirt cheap, any good local exhaust shop will bolt on a good exhaust exactly how you want it for under $800 in full stainless. But that cannon muffler HAS to go.

The spoiler is nice, it's the official Focus RS spoiler, very hard to get. Nice work.

The US spec focus LR has a bigger rear bumper, maybe thats why it sticks out more?
rear wing looks nice.
