Thumbs up Finally, the moment i've been waiting for, DSR v2

Received a call from my supplier that he just received some new DSR roofspoilers (V2 of course ) and asked me if I wanted one.
Immediately told him to get me a black one and arranged for installation on Saturday.

Some observations:
- The V2 roofspoiler has a raised design to give its appearance a more dynamic styling
- It is slightly bigger/wider than the V1.
- The V2 roofspoiler is covering the black roof rubber.
- The gap between the V2 roofspoiler and the roof is small and very consistent.
- There are two tiny gaps at both sides, but also very consistent of size.

Ok, now some pics:

Looks good, can we have any comparison pics next to a ugo, and sportline. I'm looking to buy a roof spoiler, it would be cool to see them next to each other.

Alex sent me some preliminary pictures last night on the roof spoiler and from what I saw, the side gaps are virtually non existant (if anything there MUST be a tiny gap to allow the rain water to gutter along the side of the glass). The new version is also seemingly more tilted up to make more in line with the roof line, and also to better cover the unsightly rubber lining better. Too bad the pics are at home otherwise I would have posted them here..... but man, it sure is nice.

Very nice Can you take a picture where I can see the whole car? So I can see how the spoiler balances with the rest of it?
