Alex - PM Sent with my address for the pick up of the wing to make your mould.

Sorry for the delay guys - AusPost wouldnt take it cause it was 10cm overlength and Easter was a blurr.

Just came backfrom the Drifts at Ipswich, 200k. The back window and tailgate were disgustingly dirty. Will a spoiler like the RED one help keep this area clean, or is it just for show?

Some years ago when Chrysler Aust. made their Stn Waggon with a built in/on spoiler, i remember the spent "millions" gettin it right to keep the back screen clean.

Anyone got any thoughts/experience on this.

Spoiler probably won't help much. Late model Commodore Wagons (VT on) have a 'wind deflector' that guides air from the roof down over the back screen, this is to stop the dust from sticking and I think they work ok. The wing won't do this so not sure of the effect, being a very vertical rear window it attracts the most amount of grim possible as there is a lot of swirl and not a great deal of air flow down the window.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

could a section of the spoiler have a louvre in it that could be opened or shut.

Or maybe a kit for those that wanted it.

I realise this would make it more expensive but am thinking how to make it practical as well as good looking.

I will see if I can design something like this into the spoiler, however I am not sure there is much we can do about it as the stagea rear is very perpendicular to the direction of travel and creates a very large venturi.

keep you updates.

3intheback - i will send you a TNT con note thing this week via express post.

[stagi-r]

I would like to jump in on this one please

For what it's worth i like the look of the second one better, prolly 'cause our car is red!!

[AlexCim]

3intheback - Did you receive the express envelope + TNT con note thingo inside? Have you had a chance to send the spoiler off, if so, Ill get cracking on modding it/making a mould as soon as it receive it.

[3intheBack]

TNT collected on Monday morning...its winging its way to you as we speak (type) via Darwin and Broome.

[AlexCim]

So from queensland its going via the rest of Australia to get to me in Melbourne?

Ah well, it will be here soon enough

[3intheBack]

This is TNT we're talking about, just be grateful if you get it.

Spose I shoudnt let past experience embitter me..boohoo sob sob

[qikstagea]

alex, pm sent

[Ska]

At least it's on it's way

[66yostagea]

Alex, had alook at my neighbours spooler which appears identical to the RED one.I think that if I used double thickness d/s sticky abd left gaps for some air flo, it might keep the back window a bit (much) cleaner. Any thoughts?

[AlexCim]

I am just going to pickup 3's spoiler tonight, I will test fit it on and see how it goes.

At this stage though, the air flow duct is looking less probable as it would be quite difficult to engineer in, where of the 5 or so people interested, you are the only one thats relly after that feature.

I will make the closest possible thing I can to the red one, even the way it lines up with the lines on the side of the car (ill do it better than both on previous page )

Ill provide bolts, GOOD 3M double sided tape, instructions and everything with the spoilers of how to install them. This will be a full "spoiler add-on kit", its going to be done right.

Just want to know currently who is 100% interested in purchasing.

After I talk tomorrow with my guy with the spoiler in hand, Id like to get some deposits from people to help in producing the mould etc (will be out of my pocket). Naturally, the deposit will be used as credit towards the final unit price when the kit is available.

I will confirm pricing etc all tomorrow/this weekend too.

[Ska]

I am in, 100% just tell me when you need the deposit!

How much extra do you thing it would be to colour match and paint locally? I understand it's a bit hard to colour match my car in QLD when you are in Vic

[3intheBack]

Any paint shop worth its salt will have a computer colour matcher. It should be 100% accurate and a good sprayer can even make it look slightly aged/sun faded.

[Ska]

Oh yeah I dont doubt it, but what would the average cost be?

[66yostagea]

im in.
