SANTA COMES IN MAY !!!!!

Post by The General » Thu May 07, 2009 4:26 pm

I got a call from a guy i first met about 4 years ago at a show and said he had something that would look really nice on the general and he would drop it off on his way to carlisle, i never really thought much about it to be honest maybe some new under riders or wheels etc. Imagine my reaction when i got home today and my neighbour handed me a box. So away into the garage i went and you could have knocked me down with a feather when this appeared under the bubble wrap.

The spoiler itself is a one piece part with no joins or welds, it is original black so i think i will keep it black for the time being as i like it and may even get the spare bonnet out and do it black also,and if i change my mind i can always paint it at a later date. :D :D

Crikey I,ve never seen one of those for a Marina, even in old magazine articles. Super rare. Certainly looks right on the General. Nice with the ST sticker too, cool.

It is a complete boot , no joins, screws, or filler just a complete boot and spoiler combo. Think the spare bonnet's next for the black treatment. Fitted it tonight although the spring has jumped off the boot lock when i went to open it so will need to sort that asap. Here are some more pics of it fitted and cleaned up.
