hi there has anyone ever fitted a gen gti spoiler to a match? reason why im asking is because i thought they bolted on to the tailate. I was wondering if if i bought a spoiler from vw, would it come with bolts attached or what? can some shed some light on this matter as its the one with a rear light also (because it covers the original one on the tailagte)

thankie

I know people have done it. From what I know, they are glued on and not bolted - I think youd have to use something like evostick or a high density adhesive to get a proper seal on it. Im sure someone else will shed some more light on the matter

Alex is correct, the rear spoiler isn't bolted on it's attached with adhesive.

In terms of which spoiler, a lot of people have asked about the GTi one. And to be honest, I think it would be easier to fit the VW accessories one for non-GTi models, as this sits above the existing third brake light.

thats what im thinking of going for. would really set off the back nice

u know how much roughly they are and how much it would be to get sprayed?

I think I paid around £70 for one from VW, however that was about 4 years ago!

well this is something i have been looking into as i saw a picture of a gen vw gti one which was second hand and it had two big rip holes either end where it looked like it was ripped off a car?? as for price of a new gti one from vw i was quotd £150 from vw on friday and the same again to get it painted and fitted.

i would prob go for a standard hatch back one not the gti one due to the break light. would def look good.

hey m8, just got my gti boot spoiler on my SE and you do have to bolt it on in two places. Also, you do have 2 also stick it down using adhesive.

Pics please

Why not have a look on ebay to see if you can find one cheaper?

Mines isnt a gti spoiler bu fairly similar

*** WOOOO FINALLY ON MY 100TH POST (even though ive been on this for a while ) ***

when i bought my vw votex one it was just bonded on and it didnt have the third brake light, it didnt sit flush with the roof, it sat slightly higher, you could ask vag parts how much a votex one would be.
hope this helps
