I am looking into buying this spoiler, but before I do I'd love to see if anyone else had it and if they could show me how it looked on their beetle! OR if you are selling one please get in touch with me!


Touring hatch wing

Thanks!

Hopefully everyone is having a good Monday.

Still looking for spoilers of any kind that you have installed on your beetle. Tell me how much you like it or if you wish you never installed a spoiler. I would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm looking to install one myself. The one you have picked out looks good, I'm looking at the two below, I just can't decided which one.





Custom Style - Lighted Rear Spoiler - 2003 Volkswagen Beetle Spoiler

Extreme Dimensions® - JDM Buddy Wings, 2 Pcs. - 2003 Volkswagen Beetle Body Kit

Evanrude, Love your car,I love yellow. I love the look of the Caractere spoiler too, I just can justify $ 300 plus for a wing. As for the second one, I use to love the porsche whale tail spoiler I remember from Beetles in the sixty's, and I think this is a pretty good likeness of it.

As for the 2nd one, you'd only be able to use half of the kit, unless you disable your electronic spoiler. Just thought I'd mention that

You might be able to sell the other half to someone with a non-turbo Beetle though and get a bit of money back

It's kind of a tough call. Both of those spoilers are nice. I've personally wanted a Caractere spoiler for years.

And the 2nd one is one I have wanted too!

I ended up going with the *much* harder to find option...





Still want a Caractere spoiler though at some point...

Although, in profile, (from the side)... this spoiler really works with the lines of the sunroof, and the electronic spoiler...



There is a company on eBay now that sells this spoiler. The are re-making it since the original company kind of vanished and nobody knows who makes them, including VW who was installing these on 2002 Beetles in the showroom.
