Title: Rear Window Roof Spoiler
Post by: oz7 on 10 March 2004, 09:56

 I have noticed that some cars have a small rear spolier located above the window.

 Can..,

 a) Someone post some pictures of their spolier

 b) Where is the best/cheapest place to get one from?

Thanks

Eurocarparts offer a copy of the VW (votex) spoiler for about ?70 (over ?100 for genuine one from VW). Note that wherever you buy one it will be supplied only in primer and will require painting to match you car.

FYI, most spoilers are bonded to the tailgate and/or glass and require no drilled fixings.

i got one from europarts for ?57 i think, but after some stupid quotes to paint and fit i decided to keep to the smooth 'euro' look and just change me badges and wiper, not bothered about the spoiler so i sold it!!!

Gents, is the item from Euro an OEM part? Or a replica?

Do the VW items have a notch cut out of them so as you can open the tailgate without it interfering with the arial?

Can anyone post a picture/e-mail of an OEM item fitted?

Thanks

Just bought one today from Nottm VW for ?84 all in. Has the round cut out as opposed to the "V" shape cut out. VW inform me that the "V" spoiler has a weakness at the tip of the "V" Comes complete with all fixings "Bonding" chuffed.
