Alpine White Reardeck spoiler

MG_2006325i_KG · 03-04-2006, 03:24 AM

cant seem to find it in alpine white......any help

Paul330d · 03-04-2006, 04:23 AM

It's cheaper to order the unpainted one & then get your dealer to paint it to match. I am assuming you want the OEM model?

325 Baller · 03-04-2006, 12:16 PM

Ya why is there no love for the Alpine?

bavarian19 · 03-04-2006, 02:19 PM

Why doesnt BMW just have spoilers painted in all the flippin colors

If they had a monaco blue painted one, I would buy it in a heartbeat...

im kinda disappointed.

The simple answer is because here in Europe white sedans are usually ambulances. Private buyers will hardly ever specify white (or bright red) on mid-sized sedans.

I am in Germanland and it is going for 199euro(approx 240 usd) "primed" think I should wait until I get back to the land of 24 hour wal marts and hit my nearest dealer.........whatta say?

Buy it primed

Its not pre-painted in white

LEDZEP · 03-04-2006, 02:58 PM

You can get some Krylon white spray paint at Wal Mart for like $4 a can.

But seriously, what a PITA to have to get a shop to spray it for you. They will use more paint filling the gun and flushing it out than they'll put on the spoiler. Don't know why that spoiler isn't a factory option. Oh well, I kinda like mine without it.

325 Baller · 03-04-2006, 03:24 PM

I was just at my dealership and saw a Alpine with a Alpine rear deck spoiler, it looked amazing.

docbolo · 03-04-2006, 03:48 PM

the spoiler is a completely aesthetic thing right? Or is there actually an increase in downforce from such a little lip? curious

Ghunger · 03-04-2006, 04:33 PM

Will it technically increase downforce? I would guess it probably will. Will it be noticable or is it needed? I doubt it.

kabhatti · 06-04-2006, 09:43 AM

Does anyone have photos of an Alpine White with a rear deck spoiler? Please.
