T6 rear spoiler

[Daz B]

To cut a long story short bought a T6 just over two weeks ago within 48 hours I got clipped off a driver who damaged the rear wheel arch and goosed the rear bumper!! anyway he admitted full liability Van is booked in to get repaired all gone through and I asked garage if they could fit rear spoiler and spray (Indigo Grey) which they said they could £180 + VAT is that reasonable? also what spoiler do I go for as seen original ones circa £200 or made by others for half the price would appreciate positive feedback on this.

Cheers Daz

OEM spoiler is a really good fit (tailgate, not tried the barn door spoiler) and good quality, though the style is not to everyones taste. I wasn't keen at first, preferring the T5 style, but it has grown on me. I was lucky too, as you can buy it in Candy White.

Must add its a Barn door and thanks for reply Dave ;-)

Prices for bodywork and paintwork varies greatly in my experience, but that's not an unreasonable price to prep, paint and fit a rear spoiler.
Compare that with all the work I recently had done on my T6, where I had all the plastics Gloss Blacked. This is a pretty involved job, with a lot of hours stripping the parts off, prep, and paint in the booth, and this will cost £700 plus VAT by my bodyshop. (it didn't cost me that, because I did all the removal and prep work)
I guess it's only when we add the VAT element that it looks expensive, but sadly that's unavoidable if you use reputable businesses.

@Daz B i bought a fibreglass barn door spoiler for the T5 I had before the T6. The fit wasn't brilliant and I also spent hours filling in imperfections and sanding. I ended up spraying it myself using rattle cans (off road metallic grey), took me hours, but looked good in the end. Wish I bought OEM in the first place though.

I've just had a tailgate spoiler painted at a local paintshop, cost me £100, I'll fit it myself but the owner commented on how good the quality of the spoiler was .. it's OEM

OEM definitely, for a relatively small difference in price verses looking at the possibility of a not so good fit and years of regret every time you see it. I would pay for OEM and not take the chance.

Hopefully picking mine up tomorrow from Breeze, gone with the oem black to put on an iridium grey.

Are the Travelinlite spoilers any good?
