Beautiful car. Great looking roof spoiler, what brand is it?
BTW how much is fuel in Scotland? In western Canada we're at $1.14/L CDN

2nd photo does look like the spoiler isn't all the way up, but the rest of the picture looks fine..weird, maybe a reflection. Anyways, nicely done OP!

brand is ebay job from taiwan. very good stuff i paid £60 inc delivery and painted.

petrol unleaded in scotland is £1.34 per liter which works out

1.34 GBP = 2.11142 CAD

so its about $2 per liter

i didnt fit spoiler all the way right up.

i didnt want to fit spoiler on top of rubber seal thing it wasnt perfect flush fitting.

now spoiler is sitting on glass and flat on glass proper flat tight fit.

no, we are 1.55/l for 91 octane in BC. I have the exact same spoiler fitted flush with the roof line, looking good.
