Mod: Authentic Lorinser Roof Spoiler
Hi All, Heres my newest mod, the authentic Lorinser roof spoiler.
I bought the spoiler to the shop yesterday, idiots wanted $120 for paint, excluding install, I said
and I left.
I got home, took out my "model building equipment" which involves primer, gloss paint and clear coat paint. and I painted this myself.
I was afraid of F-ing up! but, hey I got it done, I have 1 layer of primer, buffed at 200 grit, 3 layers of enemal high gloss black paint, and 3 layers of clear coat! perfection! see the pictures below!

G, it looks like you mounted it lower than it normally sits. Isn't it supposed to mount right where the glass starts?

Additionally, there are two versions of the Lorinser Roof Wing:
1) w/ cut-out for MB GPS antenna
2) w/out cut-out for MB GPS antenna
Gary, do you have the MB GPS antenna, requiring the 37mm spacing ?
Because the Lorinser instructions for mine (non-antenna version) only said 30mm.

I moved the spoiler up today, its about 1.5mm away from the panorama roof when the hatch is opened up all the way, it was a pain in the ***. I used, this clear 3M gel-double sided tape, Very something Bond

- Fillet knife
- BETACLEAN
- Sanding paper
- BETALINK K1
- Multi-nozzle
Their bonding material is like super-glue on crack steroids.
Additionally, Lorinser recommends:
"Do not drive the car for 5 hours. At temperatures below 5º C and with no other means of mechanical support, the vehicle must not be driven for 12 hours. The vehicle should not be cleaned in a car wash until 48 hours have elapsed."
