what spoiler without bodykit on roadster

[kevlo]

Hi guys and girls, new to the forum and soon to be a roadster owner.

 

Having just got rid of an audi tt convertible with a reiger bodykit on it, i want to keep the Z body as standard so i can drive it hard and not have to worry about ripping the front splitter off etc.

 

however i do want a rear boot spoiler for the back to sharpen up the plump rear end.

 

does anyone know of one that will look ok with the standard bodykit and not too OTT

 

i have been look at http://350zspoiler.com/ but the pictures all show the spoilers with matching bodykits that i dont want

 

any suggestions?

 

thakns in advance

I like the standard lip spoiler on the roadster, should have come as standard like the coupe. Some pics of mine (even though it has a body kit!!)

 

 

Cheers

the one im going to potentially buy doesnt appear to have that. just a little bump built in to the bodywork where that would be.

 

here is the link to the car

if you click on pic 7 or 9, you will see what i mean

have a look at Martinmac's roadster, he's got a big spoiler on it

[martinmac]

I agree it has to be subtle without the bodykit or the rear looks unbalanced. Have a look at the Ings.

The roadsters don't come with a spoiler from the factory, all of them are aftermarket. I just went for the standard one from the coupe but you need it specifically for the roadster as its a slightly different shape.

 

Martinmac has one of the nicest roadsters, he also gets some credit for mine as he said a roadster would look good with a V3 kit and I have to agree!!

[martinmac]

And a very brave man tried it.

the roadster has a fat rear anyway

Looks like a tidy roadster

 

The bump on the rear bootlid doesnt actually er.. bump (?) its just the squared angle where it goes from top to back

I would recommend ordering it from Adam at Z1 Auto who is based in the USA but a longstanding trader on this site.

As Digsy says Adam is a good shout and will sort you out. I still like the Ings but make it a rule bnever to disagree with Digsy, he is isually spot on.

 

My car has changed a bit since these and its a ...

The sides and rear are the Ings kit.
