I didn;t realise there were 2 different series 2 spoilers, I thought they were all the same. My 2.1 has the same spoiler as this car.

I must confess, I hadn't noticed any spoiler discrepancies, this isn't another leg pull like cup holders!?
I much prefer the overblown 'builder's tea' mug shelf of the s1 anyhow!

The spoilers are the same length, it's just an optical illusion of the angle of photographs.

Hmmmm, just looked better and both white XMs have what I call the "long version". So, have I just been...illusioned all this time thinking there are 2 s2 versions?
cheers

Evning chaps,
The white turbo has flown through the MOT this evening.
Next job is to get the exhaust manifold off it!

Congratulations! Mind, I don't get it Robert! If it's just passed an MOT why does the manifold need removal for the
repair you mentioned a short while back or was it an advisory!?

We don't get advisories like you do with a pass, only time we get a list is when it fails.
The car does have a noticeable blow that can be heard at idle, and when the engine is under load. It just spoils the whole experience, and I am quite fussy.
I even asked a guy at the CXM rally if I could listen to his car, and it was much quieter than mine.
