Rear spoilers.....

[PHJayV8]

Now then, I know this is going to be controversial, but....

I like a rear spoiler on a wedge!

One or two for sale have no spoiler fitted, I like two spoilers.... both are subtle

The one that's mounted by two vertical "plinths" (?) or the one that's flush fit, and the sides bend forward and round atop the rear wings.

Are these still available to buy should I need one?

Actually, just googled some pics, the second one is not a flush fit, it's also on two plinths, but the sides appear to be part of the upper rear wings, till you open the boot

Nothing controversial, more of what people like. I think the only real use for the one on my 400 is to keep the boot shut when the latch fails. Nothing aerodynamic about it?

There was an article by MikeB on fitting one on the wedg pages. But would TET mouldings still make them up?

TET List the 400SE for £150.

I like the 400's with the spoiler, but the 390SE spoilers that blend into the wings look good too.
im not a fan of the SEAC spoiler on anything other than a SEAC <-- Personal opinion

[PHJayV8]

Just the ticket....

Thanks folks

I haven't got round to it yet but I have a spoiler to play around with that is similar to the original rear spoiler, you can't really see in the picture but it has a slight profile to the rear of the spoiler unlike the original 400se one ...



Can you guess what car its from !

Guys guys guys . . . . you need to not only consider the aerodynamic benefits but also the beverage carrying capacity. Practical beenfits you see! Summer = boogie board for Cornwall, Winter = sledge

Never one to miss a chance to stick a pic of my car up , here is mine with a different spoiler on which (so far) I haven't seen on another wedge

Looks like a tame version of a Lotus Charlton spoiler

That's the Zender spoiler. It was originally moulded in a squidgy foam; supposedly TVR later took a mould from one and later ones are GRP. It complements the underwing on a 390SE nicely - but then I would say that, my car has one
The Zender was not, as some claim, lifted from a Ford Orion.

So it's between the blue one and the red one then Jay?

[PHJayV8]

Yes it is....

and the black one, OMG! lol

[smash]

Only a couple weeks of sun left....tick tock

[PHJayV8]

I know, but I know what'll happen....

I'll get another 350i, then all the nice "out of season" 400s will come up?

So frustrating! :/

Yep, almost bought one when I test drive the 400SE many many years ago. Sometimes wish I had gone the LC route given how they have kept their money, but I dont think I would have had as much fun as I have in a Wedge

[matt-man]

No spoiler fan here!! Old pics of my ones rear...these are old pics-even has the old plate on!..needsme new ones (and a wedge in less pieces!)

[PHJayV8]

That's a gorgeous car matt-man, but the chunkier 400 styling really helps too

Yes, think I'll hold out for a nice 400....
