90's moody action? In my mind, the black spoiler could be the black-mascara worn by someone a little more emotional than most. The roof too. But your choice of colouring is somehow also suggesting two-tone / ska to me.
Opt to wear the grey one of these whilst driving, and you'd match the interior

Poor Old Trusty Rusty - I want to take her to a quarter million
But is she retrievable?
Took a jack at each corner the other day.
This is my real car, I am just custodian of the other one. Had this since 1993.
Can she be saved, what are the critical points and can I get them checked out before spending any money on her?

I'm an MOT Tester. The way to look at the car is imagine a 12 inch football at all the suspension, steering, Seat & seat belt mounting areas, subframe mounts, brake component mounts, door hinges and latches if there is any serious corrosion then the car will fail an MOT. This will give you a reasonable idea if its worth putting it in for an MOT. Hope this info is of use to you.

Been using my brother's Applause (no really) while sorting Zoidberg out for his MoT. 90s-tastic.

It's a 90s car on three-spokes. The natural habitat for this sort of creature is a supermarket/retail car park. This is one of my favourite pics of Zoidberg to date.
Might have to do Whitby at some point for that certain weekend they have twice a year.

If you're asking, it's standard on the 216 3 and 5 door SLi, GSi and SOHC GTi and 416 SLi/GSi (R8/XW '89-'95). 5 bolts/studs hold it to the boot lid, so you need to drill some holes or find a 216 hatch or 416 boot from the period

Not sure which route Mr. Vulgalour chose to fit this to his 414, or rather, Zoidberg

(I watch Futurama too...)
This one ^^^ (in the picture) is usually body-coloured, not black. The equivalent Honda Concertos had something similar-looking, but they were solid rubber as far as I know, not the two-part glued-together hollow affair Rover designed.
