Do all Bongos/Fredas have spoilers?

[CatBusFreda]

Hi all,

We took ownership of our lovely Freda on Saturday and this is gonna be the first of many stupid questions from us over the next few weeks/months.

As the title says... Do all Bongos/Fredas have a spoiler? There is no spoiler on our van at present but we were given one when we bought it. Someone has done a horrific white paint job on it and I guessed it had been removed for that but we can't seem to find any holes to reattach. Are we being really dumb?

Thanks in advance.

Not all have spoilers.
I have just replaced the tailgate on mines, my original had a spoiler but the replacement hasn't & there are no holes pre made. I probably wont bother re fitting the spoiler to my new tailgate as I have a fiamma bike rack which needs the spoiler to be butchered anyway.

Ah okay, so is it possible to fit a spoiler to a non spoiler bongo?

Yup use the new spoiler and make a template for the pin and bolt holes then use that to mark up the van and drill, you may not however have the loom for the high-level brake light.

Sounds like a plan. Any thoughts on who might do a loom for the light? Isn't it a requirement for the MOT that if it is there it should be working?

You do know the extra down force from the spoiler will make it more difficult to drift

[CatBusFreda]

To drift? Care to elaborate?

Hoping you mean "Tokyo Drift" stylee. I am scared at the minute of taking corners too sharp in case it falls over, lol. Bit of a step up from my 1.2 Corsa.

My replacement tailgate has the centre brake light wiring present despite not having a spoiler. Even if yours doesn't It is not hard to run a wire up from the O/S lamp cluster through the tailgate harness, there are a couple of earth points in the tailgate you can use for a negative.
