When walking to work something that helps pass the time is dreaming of getting a Tuscan, I want a orange one, but I love the look of the Tuscan S but have no chance of affording one, soooo can you retro fit the S's spoiler, I don't want to make out it is a S but I prefer the look.

Anyone done it ?

Can't help you I'm afraid, but I must agree with you that the Tuscan looks MUCH better (IMHO) with the rear spoiler. It finishes the back off much better than the standard car. It also hides the boot shut line all along the back.

There have been many comments recently on this forum about people not liking the 'S', so I thought I'd add a positive comment about it!

Wasn't there an advert in the back of Sprint advertising the "S" spoiler for fitting to non-S cars ?

It also traps unwary fingers if you're not careful when shutting the boot!

I agree - I think it really suits the car and makes it look more agressive, although it suits some colours more than others.

Afternoon,

Does anyone know where I could source a spoiler from for my RR tusc, I have tried all the various parts suppliers and they have all said I need to have an S chassis number to order the part??

Well - get someone on here with an S to order one for you. Or is that too simplistic.

Thanks Tony,

Ordered the front and rear spoilers this morning from Casoli 0208 440 5555, should hopefully have them both on next week, I will post some pics when they are done, hopefully getting a full exhaust system from HHC aswell just to make it sound a little better

Hi Tony,

I've been told the spoiler doesn't have the reflectors built in so it should look a little cleaner on the car as soon as I fit it I will let you know how easy it was.

On another note was just driving home from work behind a skip lorry and a big stone came flying off its rear wheel and has cracked my windscreen. Having loads of luck today!!!!

Clutch slave cylinder gone for a THIRD time? What sort of mileage have you done? My slave cylinder lasted until the 36,000 service, at that rate you should be nearing 100,000 miles by now!!

Has any dealer come up with a fix for the failing clutch slave cylinder? From what I understand it is caused by the heat, anyone come up with a way of insulating it or anything or is there not enough room in the bell housing?

You are not alone. However, options are always good. It does makes the car look more aggressive but I love the simlpicity and indicators of the RR. The standard looks much smoother. Not sure the RR with the spoiler will look right due to the lights being so low down. I am sure this is why they changed the lights for the S.

Are those pics up? Would be nice to see the result.
