Spoiler is an additional component in the car, which is designed to change the aerodynamic properties of the body by redirecting the air flows. To date, spoilers are mainly used as a design element of the passenger cars and not as a technical progress in contrast to the sports car. In their design aerodynamics is on the same stage with the characteristics of the car engine. By the way, in motorsport spoiler has the following notation: it is the aerodynamic plane, which is attached to the rear upper edge of the race car with the front end and angles to the airflow. The main purpose of the spoiler is to create vacuum behind the car that accelerates the movement of air masses underside and create down force.

Any spoiler performs the following functions: it reduces frontal resistance, it provides forced cooling and protects from pollution. Spoilers are produced of fibreglass, ABS plastic, silicone and carbon fibre. Fibreglass is a material, which basically consists of synthetic resin and fibreglass-reinforced. This is the cheapest method of producing spoilers. At the same time the material is strong enough and is machinable. The most common material to produce spoilers is ABS plastic with different impurities, which give the material ductility. The negative factor in the production spoilers of this material is its fragility, which increases when used for a long time because there is evaporation of volatile phenols.

Regarding silicone spoilers is worth noting that to produce them silicone polymers, which give excellent ductility, are used. Moreover, silicon has high thermal characteristics, as well as long-term operation. But the most modern spoilers are considered to be those made of carbon or carbon fibre reinforced plastic. It is very lightweight, strong, but at the same time very expensive material. If you decide to replace the old spoiler with a new one or simply change the design of the car, come to our online store. Along with spoiler it offers a variety of other auto parts - headlights, bumpers, door handles and many others.

What is necessary to know about spoiler replacement: lifetime limits, common defects and their signs, tips and recommendations.

The spoiler has no specified lifetime limit and is replaced by necessity. As well as the radiator grille, it should be replaced at significant deformation, appearance of chips and cracking.

Apart from visible defects, defectiveness of the spoiler can be indicated by its displacement and rattling during driving. Diagnostics of the part lies in inspection for presence of cracks and other damages.

Algorithm of component replacement depends on its mounting location and fastening type. It is easier to install the spoiler which is mounted on the car body with a help of a special glue. In order to replace the rear spoiler, which is fastened on the luggage compartment lid with a help of threaded connection, it is necessary to disconnect stop lights power supply wires. Then you need to remove protective panel of the trunk lid, under which spoiler fasteners are located. Unscrew bolts, remove a defective spoiler, install a new one and perform assembling in the reverse order. The front spoiler is mounted under the bumper with a help of screws. In order to demount the part, you need to unscrew its side fasteners, and holding the bumper, pull it on. Remove a defective spoiler and install a new one.
