Default Favourite all time Recent Ford Spoiler???

Just curious to what everyones favourite spoiler is in regards to the style of the car?

IMHO id have to say T3 TS/TE50, it just so awesome and agressive! really tops off the styling of the car! Honourable mentions to EB/ED bootlip and AU Bi-Plane!!!

Btw i planned to post up pics of all but really couldnt be bothered :P

Call me crazy but I really like the Typhoon spoiler. I'm not into making a road car look like race car, so the big *** racey spoilers don't do it for me. I absolutely HATE that f*cking AU twin plane spoiler, looks fricken ridiculous.

Going to be a bit off track with the answer here as you generalised and said Ford;);)

1990's Escort Cosworth Whale Tail spoiler. That is the most memorable one I can think of.

Well I agree with you super roo.

I love my lip spoiler, but I wish it was a bit bigger.

And a Bi Plane AU spoiler looks great with the full kit, but then again an AU with a full kit and no spoiler looks good too.

We could be here a while..lol

Totally agree mate, i love the SVO lip spoilers cause theyre a bit longer but theyre just a copy of the original ford idea!!!
Au biplane only looks good with the full bodykit imho!! U got good taste polyal! ;)

I'm a sucker for the biplane, was something different and still managed to stay within a reasonable size.

Having a biplane one myself, I'm kinda fond of it but I do like the T3 one quite a lot.

As has been said, although not factory, I'm an absolute sucker for the SVO bootlip that came on EA/EB SVOs. Or the DJR BA bob tail mmmmmm!

Factory; I used to despise the AU biplane, but it's quite easily one of my favourites - just as long as it goes with the full AU I XR kit. T3 high-rise is quite nice in the right application too. And then the Typhoon one, that looks sweeeeet, racer style :P

I agree with you Shan,the T3 was the best followed by the BA GTs.

I don't really have a favourite, but absolutely despise the bi-plane AU wings! They look like crap! <- (IMO)
I love the BA GT spoilers, and the T3 wing but i prefer no spoiler at all on most cars

i'm more of a fan of bobtails if not then no spoiler, the bobtails seem to blend into the lines of the car better and not look like a heap of fiberglass just slapped on imo

Although I'm not a fan of spoilers, the EB GT spoiler I find VERY desirable, even though whenever I see one I think "check out that spoiler with a car hanging off it!"

Well my top two favourite late model Falcon rear spoilers are not even on that list! Sheesh! :


#1 - AU T-series slimline spoiler (as fitted on my TS50.. : )
#2 - EA Brock boot-lip spoiler (is this the same as the SVO?)
#3 - AU Bi-Plane spoiler (only if fitted with full AU1 Tickford kit)

The T3 TS50 one like mine is my favourite. As long as the rest of the kit is there. I saw one the other day on a forte with no other body kit. It looked rediculous

2nd is the E series XR lip spoiler.

T3 spoiler looks awesome! That got my vote.

But the biplane on the AUs was one of the worst looking spoilers ever imo, just looks stupid.
