ML24 Member 33 Member For: 8y 6m 6d Posted 04/01/17 09:41 AM Share Posted 04/01/17 09:41 AM Hi All Has anyone got a boot lip spoiler (aftermarket/OEM) that is not the standard XR boot spoiler? If so, what are your thoughts? Can anyone who has done either of these already provide some info? I'd like to change mine to a simple lip spoiler like the G6E, but don't want to have to get a new boot/weld up holes/do bodywork etc: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FG-FALCON-G6E-BOBTAIL-SPOILER-/231394931610?hash=item35e036739a:g:ui0AAOSwj0NUasuS Alternative is this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FG-FALCON-DJR-REAR-BOBTAIL-SPOILER-WITH-LED-UNPAINTED-/122060932387?hash=item1c6b660523:g:E6sAAOSwf-VWXpUX From some quick reading, the fitment isn't great and will still probably need a bodyshop to install along with prime/paint.

The only real drama I had was getting it painted by 3 different painters because they couldn't match the bastard paint Edited 06/01/17 06:29 AM by damo6 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92812-boot-lip-spoilers/#findComment-1627599 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on the car when I bought it, so unsure if genuine or replica, but doubtful of genuine.

ML24 Member 33 Member For: 8y 6m 6d Posted 16/01/17 04:33 AM Author Share Posted 16/01/17 04:33 AM Has anyone gone spoiler-less? If so, what are you using to plug up the holes in the boot? If I were to go the smaller lip that will be held on with double sided tape, how can I plug the holes if I want to go back to stock spoiler later?

They look tacky but do the job if you put some silicon on the inside of the boot hole. The best option is to get an xt bootlid from the wreckers.

Again off to the wreckers for an xt parcel tray light. Or you could get tricky with an led strip somewhere.

Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 8m 1d Posted 18/01/17 10:54 PM Share Posted 18/01/17 10:54 PM You can just cut the carpet of the XR parcel shelf and fit the light from a spoiler less model easy enough. The parcel shelf carpet is just held onto the sheetmetal by xmas tree clips. Pull the wiring out from the bootlid, leave it in the boot and plug in the new light. I did it when fitting a force lip on a XR. The cops love defecting the Late model camira kids for no high level brake light .
