When we purchased our Fabia vRS, we knew it had been the Redbull promo car - kitted out with the WRC widebody kit, 25mm spacers and the gigantic WRC rear spoiler...
When we paid for and had the car delivered, the spoiler was missing "misplaced" before the car was listed for sale... How anybody "misplaces" a spoiler that big (it is integral with the rear windscreen as well, so its a lump of GRP and over a square meter of glass ::)) I do not know.
Anyway, browsing TM tonight I saw our cars "twin" for sale and what do you know, the owner was "given" our WRC spoiler and glass by the dealer - not installed, so it is just sitting there.

Have left a message to contact us, so hopefully we can buy or trade our spoiler back :)

Awsum news!
I have driven this car and it not only looks the business it goes like a cut cat.
Its a special car.
Thanks Steve's wife for letting me have a go.
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

That's a very cool bit of kit.  The trackday we had in Taupo about Feb 06 was it? had a chipped Fabia.  Deceptively quick. Hope you get the spoiler back!

From the comment the seller made, I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting the spoiler back!

The exEurocity car (black one for sale) never had a rear spoiler on it. It did have a fake roof intake though.

Yep, our one has the roof intake, although by the looks of it I would say it has never been installed... Taking moulds of it soon to make functional versions for the back of a 120L turbo project ;)

Hopefully it went to a good home...
Sadly the seller was a bit of a tool ::)

I'm still keen to find out exactly when he was given that spoiler by the dealership though, especially since he only added that he had it a couple of weeks back. All of our enquiries through Giltraps etc pointed to them knowing that it was somewhere "out the back" and that is was from our car but no-one seemed too bothered to look any further into it >:(

I spoke with the old owner, sounds like he was given the spoiler when he purchased the car a year ago.

The new owner might be keen to sell the spolier on, any idea what its worth?

No idea to be honest, at least the cost of a new rear windscreen + extra for the plastic content ???

Well, 490km later and I have a genuine set of Skoda Auto arse-antlers and a rear screen for the Fabia sitting in the living room ;D




A very big thankyou to Matt (Nordschleife) for the sale, and Nik for pointing me in the right direction :)

Probably won't be installed before xmas, but will post pics as soon as it is done!
