Trev-the-Rev Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm still undecided as to whether I should fit a Nismo rear spoiler, so I've got a couple of questions. V1 or V2 - what looks best? Do you need to uprate your tailgate struts and if so, where can you get some and how much? Is your rear vision impaired much by either one? Where's the best place to buy from?

Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 V1 looks really nice thats what Ive got on mine, its not too over the top boy Nova type its just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Being biased I prefer the V1 to the V2. If you fit either you will need to remove the counterbalance from the tailgate otherwise it will keep crashing down on your head! Not sure if you need uprated struts but just for info I had mine replaced under warranty about a month ago beacause when you opened the boot the struts were not strong enough to open sufficiently to clear the locking mechanism. This resulted in having to push the button with one hand and pull the tailgate up with the other which was tres annoying when you have got your hands full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Having seen the V2 on the weekend I have to say i prefer the V1. Its more refined and suits the car better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Having seen the V2 on the weekend I have to say i prefer the V1. Its more refined and suits the car better I think you can get away with just having the V1 if you choose whereas the V2 needs the rest of the V2 kit to compliment so it doesn't look like a chavvy whale tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It works with the front and rear spoiler, but im still not sure on it now, its too big for the car. Also the front step along the top of the bumper is what looks odd for me, it doesnt sweep down like the OE or nismo V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks for the feedback fellas. I think if I go for one it'll be the V1 as the V2 needs the rest of the kit to complement it imo. So where's the best place to get a V1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Real I think. I don't know much about the quality of replica ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is your rear vision impaired much by either one? Just found this pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Not too bad then. And certainly not as bad as my old Lotus Esprit Turbo. I've now ordered a V1 from Adam and he has done me a good deal. Sarnie, you mentioned that you had to remove a counter balance weight from the tailgate when you had yours fitted. What does this look like and where is it to be found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never removed it from mine as my kit was factory fitted therefore it would of been done in Sunderland. I'm a search on here should bring up some threads of people who have done it themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
