To Rear Spoiler Or Not To Rear Spoiler

[Dieseldonkey]

Low Life Stealth with an RDX spoiler. The Hilo is a good bit higher at the back when it's elevated.

Don’t have a piccie of my Hilo roof side profile with spoiler to give you a comparison. Will try and upload one in the morning.

**update**
Here you go. VW oem tailgate spoiler with Hilo.

Doesn't really cause too much issue for me. You just need to remember to close the tailgate when your elevating or retracting the roof so that the rear of the roof doesn't rub against the spoiler, while the roof is on the move.

Picking up my Kombi in a month. Pure grey SWB T30. Question is rear spoiler or not? I like both with and without. Waste of money? or will i regret not having one down the line ?

I think you need to look around the forum and see what influences your taste. Have a good look at all the details on everyone’s vans and see how it’s not the spoiler alone that makes ‘the look’, it’s the subtle additions that make the van ‘pop’.
Bloody hell, check me out getting all poetic.
Good luck!

It's much easier to put one on than it is to take one off! If you're undecided I would have it without, that way you can add one easily if you want to. If you have one fitted now and then decide you don't like it, it's an absolute pain to get it off.

I should also add, if it's a new van coming from VW and they fit a spoiler, they're going to be drilling holes in the top of the tailgate to bolt it on. Even more of a pain if you choose to remove it at a later date.

I vote not, IMO the cleaner the van looks the better, less is more as they say...

 

[tyzer16]

I Vote definitely : YES

Mines back tomorrow having rear and front Splitter fitted will post before and after....

Seems to work better on some colours to my eye. Looks awesome on metallic colours. I'm going Pure grey and i'm not so sure it works.

Always looks like a handle on a shopping trolley to me

Yep! Except there isn’t a slot that takes a single £1 coin.....it has a secret, invisible credit card reader that actually knows your pin already!!!

 

[Nande2000]

Decision made...no spoiler. Putting the money towards a decent ceramic detail instead. 3 weeks til delivery !!

 

[ei-aprilia]

It's a Van FFS not a Vanquish, they don't need spoilers!

 

[Stay Frosty]

Just like they don't need slamming on 20" rims, front splitters and limo black windows... there is no right or wrong but I've got a rear spoiler.

 

[Nande2000]

Each to their own, imho doesn't work with the Pure Grey.

I am trying to decide if I want to fit a spoiler on the back of my van. Can you post a pic of your rear (innuendo not an invite for spotty bottoms) so I can see what the differences are and which one I like best. Also just an excuse to snoop at everyone else's vans

Thanks Gary

Before I had a pop top fitted.
