[Making a Duckbill Spoiler]
Mk1
EuroBumpers
Euro Bumpers for the MK1 are next to impossible to
find. Your best bet is to search German E-bay or contact
a stateside parts dealer with connections in Europe.. be
prepared to spend at least $400 U.S.
Mk1 Spoliers
There are basically three types of Front spoilers
still available for the mk1 Scirocco...The Spoiler from
a Scirocco "S" was produced by Zender and is no longer
made but can still be found by personal sellers or, if
your lucky, off a car in a junkyard.
Another spoiler produced by Kamai is still in production
and can be bought new from
http://www.parts4vws.com , basically anything VW
related can be bought at that website
..the Kamai spoiler is the deepest spoiler on the market
so if you plan on lowering your Scirocco...WATCH OUT on
driveways!
**Props to NogaroGreen for the pics!
Finally.. the duckbill spoiler for a mk1 Scirocco can be
one of the hardest to find. U.S. cars came with a little
duckbill that was only about 2" deep and looked quite
wimpy on the cars out here. If your lucky enough to find
a euro duckbill...GRAB IT!! They look much better at
about 4" deep and actually contribute aerodynamically to
prevent front end lift at high speeds.
Duckbill
Spoiler
A cheaper alternative is to go to your local Chevy
Restoration Parts supplier and ask for a Spoiler from a
1969 Camaro...then go to your local hardware store and
buy 3 -2" L-brackets..3-10mm nuts...3-10mm
bolts...9-lock washers..and 3 sheet metal screws. Across
the top of the spoiler, drill a hole in the middle, and
one about a 1.5" from each end of the spoiler. Then
mount the L-brackets to the top of the spoiler using the
nuts, bolts and washers you just bought. Next, go under
the front of your Scirocco and mount the top of the L
brackets to the bottom of the lower rad support using
the sheet metal screws and 3 remaining washers! Now you
have yourself a $25 duckbill!!
Rabbit GTI spoilers also fit the MK1 Scirocco on both
the front and the back.
