2003 C5 hatch spoiler

Post by evilclive »

The C5 HDi VTR we bought in a hurry last Christmas has just passed its MOT, so looks like it's good for another year.

VTR - how posh is that! Oh, it just means alloy wheels plus a spoiler...

The rear spoiler is a bit flappy - the screws at either end have died. (lots of the car seems to be suffering rust, including every little trim clip you can imagine).

I was wondering if there would be any advantage/disadvantage to getting rid of the spoiler - less air resistance? Dirtier rear screen? Better visibility out of the back? Less load on the hatch struts?

And if I was to get rid of it, any preferred methods for blocking the holes left behind? Doesn't need to look fantastic, even gaffer tape is tempting :-)
