Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a new rear bobtail for the LX (sedan). After opinions on who to buy from? Plastic or fibreglass? Good/bad experiences with fitment?
The current one on my car was installed by the previous owner and whilst it's a great fit, it's held on by a series of pop rivets which has always annoyed me (I never should have re-used it when I painted the car all those years ago). I think the current one is plastic.

What's considered better these days, plastic or fibreglass? I'm keen to buy something that has the best possible quality and internal mounting points so I can do away with the pop-rivets.
Wilsons / Ernicks seem to be priced well, and look like they have a decent number of mounting points:

Alfa Motorsport are a lot pricier, no idea on mounting points though. But I've been a big fan of their quality in the past (I run their flares, front spoiler and A9X bonnet scoop):

Rare Spares do a plastic one:

And then I found this mob on ebay 'The Fibreglass Factory' who claim to have the best spoiler on the market - better than the original!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - particularly from anyone with real life experience.
Cheers,
