A spoiler FAQ. It is all pictures, dial-uppers go for coffee

Better pics of the late model Euro valance and M5 spoiler:







If I did it again, I'd be tempted to paint the spoiler body color.

[wkohler]

And that would look atrocious.

[ldsbeaker]

Well, the bumpers are body color, may as well go whole hog...

[Owndapwn]

Don't forget the grille and kidneys, or the side trim.

[Drew in NYC]

I understand the sentiment- the unpainted spoiler can look a bit plain, even unfinished, to anyone who hasn't stared at them long enough (of course, it helps if your car is black...). But painted, it just looks wrong:



If one wants a painted spoiler - and there's nothing wrong with that - better options exist (notwithstanding availability, etc.).

[wkohler]

Exactly!

What is this?

BBS

[jc72]

Looks kinda like a copy of this one.

[wkohler]

There are two different BBS spoilers. The early one on Aaron's car and the late one on the car Charlie posted. The early one looks much better in my opinion.

Thanks, this is the info I was looking for.

Even though I'm a slave to the 80s I've never really liked the cow-catcher-lower-lips. Thus I prefer the later one. However, I'm still not convinced I like it better than the M5 spoiler.

Im unsure if it has been mentioned earlier but I figured id post my Vestatec front spoiler on my filled front bumper!



Got mine from Toms at Classic europarts!

[Burnze]

Does anyone know what this one is? Sorry about the instagram pics. All I could find.

[brickwhite]

How's their material quality? Doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, or start cracking?

[Dubs]

A good read

[Dubs]

Does this spoiler have a particular name or code?



thanks

[wkohler]

It's called a non-spoiler.

Are there any dial-uppers left?

[Owndapwn]

I'm sure there were in 2006, when the thread was started.

Are there any dial-uppers left?

If we get everyone to post that they do not have dial up (or a lack of net neutrality, limited data and such), I can edit the title as needed.

I still use dial-up.

[Lotus72D]

Well since the title is still appropriate for you, I'll leave it for a while longer.

I'm sure others understand.

It's called 3G nowadays.

Anyone mind if I post a nice E24 rear spoiler I've found? It's a fiberglass rep of the long-NLA factory rubber part, produced by a guy in Portugal. Really nice quality, delivered in primer for less than $200, and the fit and finish are perfect:









Seller is Jasa Carbon on FB, or "roz_ro2015" on eBay. The reason I posted this info is that he makes quite a few BMW parts, although I haven't seen any for the E28's. If there is some interest, that might change, so hit him up if there's something you might like that others would, too. His name is Andersonn Talgliamento.

Old school stock US 535is. The one most tear off in lieu of the Euro stuff.

[russellrh72]

Old school stock US 535is. The one most tear off in lieu of the Euro stuff.

Still the best looking set up ever on an e28 IMO. Especially in Alpine. Beautiful car
