i'm not a spoiler fan  and not a post-lift Scorps fan
is it an aftermarket spoiler for Scorpios or did he cut it off from something else?

Gozz, I'm just looking at it for the second time with a fresh eye and surprisingly it doesn't look bad for me... well maybe i would not fit one myself but if i was buying a Scorpio and saw one with a spoiler like that i'd find it quite intriguing although it would have to be a pre-facelift Scorpio for me to buy it
where did he get the spoiler from? i looks familiar... like from a toyota or honda...

yep - looks like an escort MkV RS 2000 spoiler to me
I'm thinking about a spoiler for mine, although i dont like how he has it mounted - its too far inboard (so that the lagging curve of the spolier is in line with the boot edge ) - they look better with an overhang
I have a couple to experiment with tho (including an RS2k one lol) - thinking i might try a saph cossie one

Should do
You'll also find that most of the "universal" RS2000 style side skirts are supplied sooo long that they'll nicely fit a scorp

Well, now you mention it...
I always felt that the Scorpio boot was a little too large and round (Beyonce?),, just needed that something to break it up a little.,
Each to their own....

I quite like the spoiler idea but i havent seen one that really seems to "fit" they never seem just to have that right look.
I always thought a kind of MK2 Escort/Capri spoiler might be the thing i was looking for, a bit lower and further back i think

Those were ducktails IIRC - think they'd look aweful.....
think the best match i've seen so far are the RS2K ones - the scorp has an unusual blend of swoopy rounded styling generally, but a squarish boot - meaning nothing fits quite right
