    I got my replacment spoiler from Aerotech but I have a question about the old one. I'm trying to make it look as original as possible. see the photos for the holes drilled into the old spoiler/ ? are they original ? I'll drill them in if so but I'm just not sure why they are there?

    Well its been some decades since I owned a 500, but a quick bit of Googling suggests that yes both the big and small holes are stock standard. My guess is the big one allows rain to drain away when parked on the sidestand.
