S124 tailgate spoiler, yes or no? (poll)

[carat 3.6]

Hi all, I've had another one of my daft ideas again.

This time I'm thinking about fitting the rear spoiler from a 1993 vw polo, to the tailgate of the s124 wagon. It dose sort of fit, but I'm not sure that it dosent just looks silly. I've posted a picture below of it held on with masking tape, but please let me know your thoughts.

Do it, but paint it bodycolour! Would look even better with a highlevel brakelight under it!

 

[martyz]

strangely enough......it looks pretty good.

I suppose you'll need the aerodynamic advantage with all that power

It actually looks O.K, and I'd keep it black to match the roof bars and other trim.

Is that a radio Jackie sticket on the rear window?

It's a beast you know, you have to be carefull with your right foot.

Yes, I listen to jackie regulary, I get crystal clear reception too, which is weird because I'm in buckinghamshire.

The Polo one looks OK , but there was a 'proper' one made for the W124 TE by Hella with LED brake light incorporated .

Probably rare as hen's teeth now , though .

Its still available from SVS. Special Vehicle Services Ltd
Bit pricey though

It would be interesting to see some before and after wool tuft testing for this mod.

How are you going to fix it on?

 

[trapperjohn]

I havent a clue, maybe swap the masking tape for duck tape.

I think it will look poor. Black doesn't suit, but painting it will be difficult, given it is a matt surface.

Stay proudly unadorned

 

[WOODYTHEWISE]

I like it just as is, matches the roof bars and trim as previously mentioned.

Painted body colour and fitted with 3M reflex tape therefore no holes no rust and you can take it off if you dont like it

 

[trapperjohn]

Would this be the tape or something else?

John, thats the one its good for refixing trim etc and is thin film but high bond so can be used all over the car for various purposes

I may have to use the tape, as the sides of the spoiler sit on the metal strip in the window rubber. I should be able to do something more substantial along the top though. I will need to alter the washer jet too....

Yes if painted body colour
