I really like mine,it’s subtle and goes well with tornado red,but the price is ridiculous for what it is.
As for trial fitting,I take it you’ll just use masking tape and not drive it anywhere,because once it’s fitted I think it’ll be a struggle getting it off without damage.

Yep that spoiler once fitted isn’t moving anywhere! Garage fitted mine as it was in for some work at the time. They were going to use adhesive but when they saw how well it was kept in place they didn’t bother.

Buy one. You’ll not regret it even at that ridiculous price. At least you’ll laugh when it arrives in it’s brown parcel paper packaging making you wonder what on earth you’ve done!  :laugh:

I had a laugh to myself when the parts bloke came through with mine,in it’s brown paper bag.
Then I thought ‘what’s to stop the spoiler being damaged in transit?’
He actually opened it up so I could check it before taking it.

Yeah I think the OP should just buy it and then decide to sell it to me at a very heavily discounted price being secondhand :grin:

I had a laugh at a parts man in TPS today too. My A4 has a bottle of gunk and a compressor. Recently I got an unused spacesaver off ebay and wanted the plastic tray that accommodates the jack and all the tools if you got the spacesaver as standard. It's a thin black plastic tray 80cm x 20cm x 9cm deep that fits under a hatch in the boot floor. If Ikea sold it as a cutlery drawer tray insert it'd be £2.50...TPS price is £103 + VAT.  :grin:

I politely declined to place an order.

All this plastic is super expensive as spares.

I'm honestly not surprised that the price of the spoiler lip.

I expect the parcel shelf isn't far off that price either...
