GTI REAR SPOILER ON OR OFF??
« on: 28 August 2012, 16:05 »
What are your thoughts, spoiler on or off??  I have recently removed it as it is quite faded and quite like

the look.  Not sure to get new one from VW or vinal wrap mine and stick it bk on.

Give it a flick over with matte black, if it looks sh!te the wrap it.

You will need to get some little grommets to fill the holes left if you haven't already, these'll do!

Cheers for that, already have them on thanks.  Just dont know whether to leave it or not.  The wrap would look good mind.

If you have the plastic arches on then spoiler on.

Otherwise looks much better without

Yeah i have the plastic arches, jst a pain as my spoiler is shot so will have to buy new one.  Plus a

common fault with these is that the plasic fades a lot so will still have to get it wrapped.  Looking at £45

for new spoiler and £40 to be wrapped.

Give it a quick go over with some matte black before buying a new one, it might look ok!

Put it back on or don't come crying when the overwhelming power makes the rear end go all light and puts you in a hedge.......VW engineers know best.... :wink:

My vr6 never had one.

Also at high speed it will push back down and lift the front drive wheels.

That spoiler does nothing to the aerodynamics
