Welcome Garry , your car great , what type of roof spoiler did you get , and how much /where ???

Thanks
you may laugh but I found it on Ebay; the sellers ID is:amebawings. I purchased both the rear window spoiler and rear spoiler from him for $239.00 US plus $40.00 for priority shipping. I opened the box and everything was AC Schnitzer (the instructions were even in German)! The color match was unbelievable!!! They had to be sanded on the adhesive end and taped with 3M adhesive tape (which I purchased). I also used a black silicone adhesive for extra adhesion. My brother and I installed them both in about 1.5-2 hours total and let them dry for 24 hours. I am very pleased with the look of the car now. I have added a picture of the "transition" stage. I used straps to hold the rear spoiler in place along with painters tape, for the window spoiler my old engineering books were not heavy enough so I used bags of dirt and plastic jugs of ice-melt to add weight along with blue painters tape to hold in place while drying. It looks like a mess but the wait is well worth it! New Member-in_transition.jpg

Gary, any idea where I can buy some Tommy Bahama shirts?

How were the paint quality and match of the spoilers?

The paint quality and match are impeccable! My father thought they were BMW parts. The fit is also top notch.
