I'd say fibreglass would be your best bet. Spidey was saying he was looking for get some practice using fibreglass, he's going to fix my sideskirt for me, I'll book your spoiler in for when he's finished that
Do you think the spoiler needs to be fixed structurally or is it just cosmetic?

i think the inserts have fallen out of the holes on the cracked side so may have to prise it open a bit more to take them out and replace them or refit them but in theory once i can figure out the best solution to strenghtening and filling the crack / split i would hope it would be structurally solid, i was half thinking of using a bit of no more nails as a glue and then refilling with a fibreglass solution and sand it down and would probably just have to respray approx an inch thick line, where the carck was(is), its not on the outside of the spoiler just the inner so i'd hope to make it virtually un--noticable.

yeah no more nails is good stuff. put some of that inside, cover it over with a couple of layers of fibreglass and then a bit of filler to smooth it out. should be as good/better than new!

Sounds like a 'pizza work in'  (i.e. the host buys Pizza to encourage the workers)

Heres a pic of a 96 mr2 for sale on Carzone with the full greddy gracer kit, www.carzone.ie/search/Toyota/MR2/2.0-non.../advert?channel=CARS I sat the spoiler on my car last night and have to say im 50 / 50 on how it looks, I think the shock of seeing my car spoilerless was ruining the idea of it, Anyway i'll keep at it and hopefully have it fixed and on for the antrim run

That's a nice MR2! it's got Recaros hidden in there also.. (although they look like they need recovering from the pics)

Put the greddy on the end of the bed for a few nights, that might help.
Why dont you get Greddy spats and front lip and have a full Greddy kit like the one on donedeal that you posted up? Ur skirts are greddy right?

Not sure, still needs a small bit of work, but may post it up on the usa site, anyway keep yours as it is, doing a bit of research on it and it looks like that toyota released your mr2 as it "sard"

RHDJapan.com has them I think
rear end looks FAIL  in the pictures. Maybe it's better in real life though?
