Post on the Skoda ownwers Facebook site.....there is usually someone with one somewhere. You can buy them new from CZ.....not sure if they'd post fibreglass though. Most of the ones in this country are not real thing and contain vents in them to aid the standard boot lid cooling slats

TBF the "standard spoiler"on the 130 (and IIRC 120LSE) did have vents in it.

They all did from 1978 onwards however a proper rally car with a birdbath fitted has a slatted boot lid in front of the spoiler which is where the cold air gets forced by the spoiler.....which is what it's there for as opposed to providing down force as you might think. 

Demonstrated nicely here -

I think this is the first time I've seen a photo of the "works" engine cover that actually shows the vents!
