Roof Spoiler Installation


mrcrazyrolla

Recommended Posts

Sup people. I was quoted $720 for a standard roof spoiler (painted and installed) so naturally I will be buying this.

...and installing it my self.

I'm not too sure about painting my self. Paint code on vin plate is '8P4' cascade blue.

Would it be hard to paint? Price to be done by a professional?

FYI: I will be buying c-one wing tips straight away so are there any spoilers for sale already with tips or something close? Are there any wings around that would fit a rolla?

I recently installed my own spoiler. It was not overly difficult, as long as you take your sweet time to get it perfect.

However I would suggest getting it painted by a professional. Paints are very hard to get right especially metallics (I believe Cascade Blue is a metallic). Get it painted and try installing it yourself.

And I think that $720 to paint and install a spoiler is way too much..

Some quotes I've gotten regarding painting and fitting bits and pieces include:

- Sportivo front skirt = $180 painted and installed

- Rear spoiler + eyelids = $150 painted and installed (saved $150 here by doing it myself! :D)

I would not think that a spoiler would differ THAT much in price, unless I'm missing something here. Though I do realise that you'd need to wire up your centre mount brake light to your new spoiler's led brake light, but that should not jack the prices up that much.. =\

yeah that spoiler will fit. is it fibreglass or plastic?

I asked the ebay seller of those wing tips and he said from his experience the aftermarket spoilers in aus can fit the prefacelift wing tips. BUT ask him to double check :)
