Gold FTO (great paint, but not so sure about the wing and front spoiler....

Note the RX7 factory rims!)

Now this is just the way I like it... (except the wing)

1st= luv the paint job and crazybodykit....never favourite of the hiro spoiler, otherwise it's a great origginal fto.

2nd=crazy looking.I like everything excpet the paint and the 3 spoke rims. NO-NO.

I want more stats on them though.

Vlad, i don't think the gold FTO has a Hiro spoiler fitted on it... Looks like a modified hybrid from a Supra or some sort... it's way too curvaceous to be a Hiro spoiler...

i think HEKTIQ's got a Hiro spoiler... its gotta be one of the nicest looking spoilers ive seen on an FTO.. very subtle, and elegant....

oh, and are there 2 types of the hiro spoiler? this one;

and hektiqs one? sorry i dont have a picture.... but his one just extends out about 100mm flush off the boot... horizontally.... following the curve...

yeah i think they call it a 'bobtail', but not sure if it's actually made by Hiro though'... it could very well be, who knows.. now that's subtle!

at first i thought it was a dcuatro spoiler, but if i wasnt mistaken (when i had a closer look at hektiqs) it had a Hiro logo embedded right in the centre of the spoiler.... but i could be wrong...
hey HEKTIQ, any chance of getting it copied?

hehhehe

i want a copy too

thats just to my taste that spoiler - subtle but catches the eye of a trained eye...

Ok don't attack me, but I don't get the CF bonnet look. maybe if the cars black. what's so good about it??

I agree with you Nimz, personally I think that carbon fibre looks *cough*ugly*cough*. But I respect that some others love the look of it. So be it. It's just like some people prefer one colour over another.

The benefit of carbon fibre is that it is stronger and lighter. Personally though, I'd paint it to match the colour of the car.

Yep i agree, thats the first thing i do to all my cabon fibre stuff, don't want to catch too much attention.

So does anyone know what kind of body kit is the second one then? I wouldn't mind the front bumper & side skirt.

i thought it wasn't a hiro.....I dont like them anyway, as a mate said........They look like trolleys with em

carbonfibre is not for everyone... only a select few knows how to appreciate fine engineering!

the sideskirts are D-Cuatro items, and the front bumper looks like a modified D-Cuatro hybrid with the original FTO ('95) bumper.

It looks more like a modified D-Cuatro hybrid with the Kaze/HKS front bumper to me..........hmmmmmmmmmmm damit that would be very expensive to do in Aus.

hmmm, you could be right... maybe i should do something similar with my spare GPvR bumper eh? (since nobody want's em

)

indyfto · Post by **indyfto** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 3:42 am

I can personally confirm that Mikey is correct. That bumper is a hybrid with the top half being the standard pre facelift bumper and the lower half is the DCuatro lip spoiler. The two have been seamlessly moulded together and the centre bar has been removed and smoothed over. I have had the same bumper custom made for mine and I reckon it looks a treat

: No Veilside kit for me thanks very much

mate that looks sweeeet... how much did that set ya back? I wanna do something similar to mine as well...
