Rear Spoiler on the 159....

[twissler]

The rear spoiler that Hunter has got is ok. I don't think the 159 needs one but that's nice and subtle. Not a fan of the front splitter though.

Overall, no spoilers for me.

[Nev]

I think I might order one of these tomorrow:


Alfa Romeo Shop - Tuning, Styling, Fanartikel und Modellautos - Alfa 159 Heckspoiler RacingStyle Alfa 159 Heckspoiler RacingStyle 21293

[Hunter]

Copy!




Edit - its slightly different to mine and looks good!

[Alfa-Turk]

Definitly a yes for the proper spoiler

[Nev]

Order is going through now......

[Nev]

Gonna get a spoiler...

Now I need to get a quote for painting/sticking it on.

Took it to the body shop today and we couldn't get it to fit.
It's got magnets to check the fit.


WAAAH!


Just emailed Alfisti.net to see what's up.

Do all 159s have the little boot lip kick? I think this is the problem....

[Hunter]

Is the underside of the spoiler flush and flat?

Are you gluing the spoiler on? Will the glue not take up the gap or will it look odd?

My lip spoiler had a small 'dink' on the underside to match the profile of the boot corner.

[Nev]

I think they dispatched the wrong one.

In their pic the spoiler ends with the boot lid.

The one I've got overlaps the rear wings.

[Hunter]

Yep, doesn't look like it fits Bugger.

[Nev]

Mystery solved!


Contacted Alfisti, they got back to me almost immediately
and asked me to send them the model number marked on
the spoiler.

You are now the proud owner of a spoilerlip for the Hyundai Coupé.

Seems that the manufactor put the wrong items in the box.
Till now you are the second one.

We will send the correct spoilerlip as soon as possible.
You can keep the wrong spoiler.


Best Regards

I like them in Jade green. Sort of envy colour. Don't think it would fit our Picanto though! :

Now about your yellow Transam Nev, that would blow any spoiler away wouldn't it? Refresh my failing memory, was it a Transam, Corvette, Camaro? Can't remember really! : :

[Nev]

The yellow Corvette rental had a small spoiler too, ZF.

[tony62]

No spoilers needed, if it aint broke dont fix it

[zulu ferret]

Ah! right Nev Guess that was to stop that monster breaking the sound barrier rather than just for aesthetics sake?: A great gutsy blacktop burner you had there.

[Nev]

Okay, the replacement (non-Hyundai) spoiler has arrived.

Yay!!

[Nev]

Just took it down.

It fits!


€90 to paint 'n' fit it.

Should be on by the end of the week.
