TCR Roof Spoiler Thoughts
« on: 31 August 2020, 09:37 »
I know there is a Parts Number thread with which I am well acquainted.

But more specifically, I would value the opinions of those who have fitted this, those that thought about it but did not and those that have simply seen one fitted on a non TCR car and have an opinion.

What are the pros and cons .....apart from the price..... and does anyone have buyer’s remorse now?

I think the black lip would look v good on my Indium Grey roof.....I just need the courage to do it.

And finally....as I plan to keep my 2019 car until at least 2022, does anyone think the spoiler would damage the value of the car, or is life to short for that s**t?

Please help a nervous adopter!

There’s another thread all about this with a few photos. I’d read that first.

I was very quick to buy the spoiler as soon as the number was available. I do not mod my cars at all but it’s the best thing I’ve added. Never ever regret it. It’s one of those things that I always look at when getting in or out of my car. Had loads of comments on it and as it’s a genuine part it just looks factory finished.

It’d look great on indium imo.

Don’t think, just do it.  :wink:

With the exception of wheels, I don’t change the looks of my cars as I prefer the OEM look. However, having said that, if there were OEM styling accessories that I liked and I thought they would enhance the car’s appearance, and the cost of those parts were acceptable to me, I’d go for it!

I think a TCR roof spoiler would look good on an Indium Grey GTI Performance and I think you should do it. As you’ve said, life’s too short to worry about the ifs, buts and maybes, so if you’ve got that TCR roof spoiler itch, you should scratch it.

Be sure to post up some pictures of it fitted if you do get one :smiley:.

It does look good once fitted (GTIP) and i get loads of people stopping me when i am parked up asking me where can they  get one / price etc, so it is quite popular.

Thanks for the three rapid and positive replies so far. Just to save any other posters telling me, I have read every page of the existing thread on the TCR spoiler part number and looked at the pics. Anyone got a pic of one on an Indium Grey car by the way?

If you like it, do it! I'm fairly sure I'd have added it to my PP had I kept it. I think it's the perfect finishing touch bar the CS rear spoiler. At the risk of a small loss, just buy it and trial fit to see if you like it (I bet you will) and if no good I doubt you'll have much bother in selling it on :smiley:

I’ve never been adverse to modding so I’m 100% for just doing it. Think it’s a perfect addition and a huge plus being an OE part.

I’m planning to buy one  :wink:
