The spoiler on the yellow one seems to be pulled back too far at the bottom.

 

Cheers

The second yellow one you mean, Rob? Yeah, I included that photo mainly for the bolt-less flares but I see what you mean.

 

Plus those three hatches all appear to have the SS spoiler, which looks pulled-in at the bottom anyway, whereas Chris has the SLR spoiler.

The bolt less one has a tough look and stance but I prefer bolts, especially with those Simmons. It would seem there’s lots of variations, everyone has their own touch I guess. Cheers

Yea, that is correct i was going for the A9X look, they also had the two piece front spoiler vs the single SS I believe?

They absolutely did.

 

BUT I think we might be a little wrong by calling them 'SS' and 'SLR' spoilers.

 

(I believe there were LX SL/R's factory-fitted with that single piece "SS" spoiler, for example)

My first LX 5000 had the one piece spoiler, that was early eighties, and from a one owner.

Yeah. I don't know the specifics, but I'm inclined to guess that maybe all LX's that had a spoiler but weren't an A9X, came with that style spoiler.
