Default Upcoming: 02-07 Roof Spoiler

I have been asked by a customer to make the spoiler below, would anyone be interested in one?

Price will be around the same as our current roof spoiler which is £110 in fibreglass, carbon will be confirmed once we have it in the workshop.



Some better shots in this video

Yes it looks like it does curve down more even though ive been assured its the same spoiler, I can only guess the chap in the video has customized it to what you see

Still getting an idea if people would want one mate, was going to give it a couple more weeks and then decide.

@X70cky - ive not seen the ducktail lid before, do many people go for that style?

It would certainly be an option if going spoiler-less and give the boot an extra edge ......I know a few people that have two boots now and chop n change.....me been 1

I got the spoiler yesterday, at a glance it looks like a nice bit of kit but when put against the car I found it doesnt follow the same lines. It seems to curve more than the rear window so I will need to trim it down and get it fitted properly, I wouldnt fit this to my car as it stands so I wont sell it on.

Mine didnt follow the curve of the rear window at all so i had to glue it on and hold it down with something heavy for a few days while the glue dried.

Once I have this done installation will be the same, I'd recommend tiger seal and something heavy to hold it down till it sets
