Currently we have excessive stock of our 2 door bobtails these items are a beautiful fit designed to use the holes already under the hatch they have been made off a car that was supplied to me. this item was in the development stage for three months making it fit right centre piece has brackets and bolts but I only use the brackets to hold it down bolts on the back edge are used with no nuts and washers (so no big holes to drill) threads are used with sikaflex to hold it in place after fitting this bobtail has a return on the back edge aswell where others don'tand is made with high quality fibreglass not poor quality plastic for further info call 07 32848622
SLR bobtail is also done the same way and is a beautiful fit also made from high quality fibreglass not your poor quality plastic ones

no mine is different inside to the original the way the originals were fitted were shocking, thats why most of them cracked through the key hole ,mine has 5 steel brackets under the front edge and 4 threaded studs on the back edge, tags hold down the bobtail adequately, brackets are situated on outside of reo underneath so no drilling big holes or losing screws .Sikaflex back edge and threaded studs so that the sika goes into the stud holes sinple 15 min max to fit Dirtbag has done one of mine before pictures are on my facebook page . 2 door bobtails will come as soon as someone is nice enough to send me one.

Sorry but I am confused: do you or don't you have two door rear spoliers (bob tails as you term them)?
Just that you started this thread with; "Currently we have excessive stock of our 2 door bobtails..."
But your last post finishes with; "2 door bobtails will come as soon as someone is nice enough to send me one."
And so I am confused but equally interested in either what you have or will one day have.
Cheers, TB

I had a look at Gremlin's products yesterday, at the Toowoomba swap meet & was impressed to say the least! Well done Lionel!
When I replaced my a9x kit, I got the J.W. set most forum members recomended here. The front air dam & ducts fitted well & the flares were ok with a bit of stretching. The bonnet scoop & 3 piece bobtail was far from perfect! I spent countless hours fitting,sanding, cutting & adding extra fibreglass to get them into shape. If the JW kit was the best out there then there is a lot of room for improvment with the a9x kits. If Gremlin had the 3 piece rear spoiler available when I was ready to redo my car, I would have bought the whole kit from Lionel. It could have saved me a lot of pain. Anyway lesson learned.

Hi Guys,

I have just received a bob tail and the 2 piece front spoiler for my lx hatch and would like to give Gremlin Performance a big thumbs up on the quality of there product.
The way they fit, have been finished of the mounting bolts make it a no brainer.

The cost was 250 for the bobtail, 250 for the spoiler and freight to Kalgoolie was 220.

Hope this helps with other people deciding who to go with when looking for someone to buy from.

Can i ask the question...do you happen to do bonnet scoops as well ?? and like both the high and low profile a9x style scoops???

Im considering doing just the bobtail and front lower spoiler, and mayby bonnet, just to clean the lines up away from the stand hatch look...on the flip side a black hatch and rude sounding v8 and set of street wheels dosen't need to much attention redirection..
