So OSIR spoiler is now installed...just waiting on the sikaflex to set
Fitted this today in this god-awful heat
Just a word of warning to those wanting to buy this...fitment on the spoiler isnt the best from what I found
As this is a spoiler which is a stick-on type and not a full replacement, the ends of the spoiler tends to not be a perfect fit. From what I found, the ends of the OSIR spoiler "latches" on to your existing one but in doing so, the spoiler pushes up against the top section of your rear panel (where the spoiler meets the actual body of the car) and it tends to rub.
some install photos
I lined up the spoiler with the OEM one and placed a wedge of masking tape between the spoiler and the body to prevent it from rubbing
some damage as a result of the rubbing. Lucky i have touch up paint to remedy this
lining up the sides of the OSIR spoiler to the OEM one to prevent it from rubbing also meant that the top bit of the spoiler wouldnt sit down nicely on top of the OEM spoiler and that it would be "afloat" almost? If I wanted it to sit down flat on top of the OEM spoiler, it would mean that the sides of the spoiler would rub, hence the masking tape treatment
We'll see how it turns out
Little tidbits which will be going on next year in Jan
NGK PFR7B double platinum spark plugs (thanks to Lucas_R)
OEM Audi R8 red coilpacks (thanks to Lucas_R)
OEM Audi R8 oil + coolant caps
Forge DV FMFSITVR with yellow spring (recirc version)
Forge Oil Catch Can with that windscreen wiper bottle replacement
I'll have my Jcap Oil + Coolant + dipstick engine bay bling up for sale as well as my 42DD catch can up for sale when I get these. Will need to order the Forge catch can first (will do it next year)
Top Cat:
Does it not need to sit on the oem spoiler for proper fitment. I know its only a golf but there must be a fair bit of down force on the spoiler at high speeds. :happy2:
Hurdy:
I think he has fitted it over the OEM spoiler TC.
I had the same issue on my MKV ed30, but not quite as noticeable as Stephens.
stephen8512:
As hurdy said, it fits over the OEM spoiler
Sikaflex has settled now and it looks pretty good!
Kiwi:
This place is going to the dogs............................ :P
