I want to find a supplier that can make me a lip spoiler for my 2022 VW T-Roc. Not the roof spoiler but a lip spoiler that will go below the rear window on the hatch lip.
I have emailed some companies from a Google search but no luck so was wondering if anyone has any recommendations from having individual car bits made to measure. East Midlands would be good but I am willing to travel to get the correct bit made.
Cheers
Brian.

I imagine the market for t-roc modifications is somewhat limited but I'm sure there's a solution

I'd be tempted to try calling awesome GTi and see what they can source as they are vw modification experts, I'd also be tempted to contact someone like maxton design as they make various spoilers for various models.

Failing that I'd contact a local body shop but it might be a case of getting an almost suitable one for another model and having it tweaked to fit

Many thanks.
I tried Maxton and they just said to keep an eye on new products, they couldn't tell me what was being planned.
I'll try Awesomegti and see if they have any ideas.
We very rural so "local" anything is problematic but I'll try the good ole'phone.
Cheers
Brian.

The important question is... Why on earth would you? Lipstick on a pig springs to mind.

Otherwise, perhaps try a Golf or similar one and see if it could be modified?

I am individual, I like the look and idea. Simple as that.

The cheapest way to make it is in wood or foam, then use a fine weight fibreglass cloth and epoxy over the top to seal and stabilise it.

Have a bodyshop do the paint for a good finish.

I think you would be surprised at how easy it is.

I'm surprised it took this long for this kind of post. There's always one.

Just looking for a simple raised lip style along the edge under the window. Not a wing or on "legs", not a large aerofoil.

Thanks everyone for replies, much appreciated.

Brian.
