e46 Convertible Spoiler

[stub101]

Might sound a stoopid question + its probab;y been asked or tried before but....

Why doesnt the ACS bootlid spoiler from the vert fit the coupe? is it a completely different size? shape? contour? Or does it simply look plain stupid on the back of the coupe.

I really dont like the horrible 3 piece one that they make for the coupe + just wanting to try something different thats all.

unfortunately the cabrio boot is a different shape . I actually agree the vert version looks good, but dont know of one excatly same for the coupe.

The closest I have seen is the one pictured below , a little larger and more "old school" shape but looks good in the flesh and rare as hell .

Real carbon insert at the end :) £340

That one is a little big for my own personal tastes tbh.. So is it absolutely, not ever, no way, at all possible to have the cabrio acs one bonded on to a coupe boot?

I thought the cabrio was an inch wider than the coupe aswell? Or was I dreaming that? I'm sure one is wider than the other, so the spoilers don't butt up to the edge and look half-assed.

I used to be in love with that blade spoiler, they look gorgeous.

i think the width is the same , what I recall about the fitment is that when the cabrio spoiler is placed on top of the coupe lid , the underside of the spoiler arcs more than the boot lid so there is a crescent shaped gap beneath , approx 1.25 inches at highest point .

Now it always seemed to me that a good body shop could fill in this gap with flexible filler and paint the whole to look as one unit.

Cannot g'tee thisas have not personally tried it , but would look very good and unique if you did ......

if it did not work out then you could sell the spoiler on i guess

good luck anyway

you can try but it'll be slightly too short on each end....

That's another pint you owe me Royston. http://scions.org.uk/phpBB2/images/smilies/loser.gifHaha only kidding m8. :D

Oh yeah, Stu, that spoiler really isn't much bigger than an ACS one. It may look it in that first pic, but it's only a fraction taller and that's the CF bit. They do look horn, and would offset nicely against your CS splitters on the front. ;)
