Diy Tom's Style Adjustable Spoiler!

[jezza]

I have a spare EP82 spoiler and decided I want to make it adjustable. So far, I've done the difficult bit of cutting the OE spoiler into 3 sections and removed 10mm from the ends to allow for the thickness of the alloy brackets. I hope I've cut it completely symmetrical!

I've modelled the brackets and hope to get them CNC'd soon. Then it will be a case of bonding the brackets onto each open end and maybe get it resprayed before fitting.

Didn't fancy spending a fortune on a TOM's spoiler so I'll hopefully have the next best thing.

Will post up pics when its fitted.

Already commented on TGTT

Be good to see it fitted and finished

[jezza]

Cheers lads. Lookin forward to seeing the end result. You think I should paint the brackets are leave them un coated alloy?

Dean - Excellent idea with the carbon centre section. Must keep an eye out for one that would suit.

[jezza]

That's the brackets made and bonded to the 3 sections.

All being well, It should have it's first trial fit tonight than off again for a fresh coat of paint.

Stay tuned for pics

Assuming the brackets are aluminium, how about anodizing??? Would look smart

At last it's on!!! Brought a smile to my face when I shut the tailgate and had a look.

I put it as high as it goes to see how much it changes the look of the car. I'm happy with the results but wouldn't fancy going through the process again in a hurry.

Lets just hope it puts up with the air flow.

Pics aren't the greatest. WIll get some more after a wash on the next dry day!

^^Looks great mate, just one thing though..the metal would look better sprayed to match the spoiler.

Top effort though

Have you used security torx screws aswell? just incase some pikey decides to try and unbolt it?

I quite like the engineered look but might consider painting the brackets when the spoiler is getting sprayed later. Good shout about the machine screws! Will invest in some

Complete sexualness

You got some proper skills Jezza, if i had a starbo i would just hand you my wallet

[Nanglebadger]

that looks awesome Jezza mate!!! simply awesome!!!!!

also, good call Kennedy about security screws! would never have thought of that!

[jezza]

Cheers Phil. Was worth the effort.

top idea, something different

[chr15_7_t_]

where about can you buy these?

[Michel_M]

You can buy it from Jezza.....read the thread mate. Ontopic: Looks really good on the car, also like the brackets just unpainted, but would probably look good painted too. Either way nice spoiler.
