Styling tipo roof spoilers

[tipo4life]

hi

i was wondering was there ever a factory tipo roof spoiler? a guy on some other forum told me there were 2 kinds of original tipo roof spoilers, but no one seems to have a pic of any of those... which of these is (are) original? if any...

AS far as I can remember there were 2 types. A hard plastic one which was an owners fit or a more substantial but flexable one that could be ordered with the car. The latter was the nicer but its flexable nature meant that painting it could be aproblem Years ago a pal of mine had a black 5 door like mine and apert from reg the only thing that told us apart was his black unpainted "rubber" roof spoiler.

i had a rubber one on my old 1.4 though threw it out. it wasn't nice lol. the shape of the tipo does lend itself nicely to the spoiler like sediciRich has just shown but the rubber one i had was terrible, wasn't really flush with roof line, will try and find pics if you want to see how bad they are if you choose the wrong one lol.

looked ok from a distance. but hmmmmm

miss J165 VTH, the 1.4 though underpowered for the tipo was a great engine my 'mods' were rubbish apart from tempra alloys, the spotlights were for a practical reason mainly but they were attached to the grill and moved about so pointed up when you accelerate and down when you braked lol.

hard plastic

btw i just realized that i mine is exactly the same as that spoiler on the black tipo, and on the one that has hf rear wheels... apart from the 3rd brakelight... here r the pics... u also get to see my skinny legs on that birds eye view pic, lol

it's made by ms-design, as u can see, so it's not the original ;(

yes, it does look a bit strange even from far away, but i think it's because it's black... btw i just love that color on tipo... the best color for them, imho...

the one that sedicirich has looks the best to me because it doesnt have any space between the spoiler and the body... it really looks great. there is a company in croatia that makes spoilers, sideskirts and stuff like that, and i just found one similar to sedicirich's... it costs about 50€... maybe i'll buy one... but i want the original one, and still dont know how it looks like lol. here's a pic...

I don't remember if the spoiler was marked with anything, but certainly the factory fit spoiler on my Marea was a Zender part made for Fiat. The bodyshop had a lot of trouble fitting the spoiler as they couldn't paint the spoiler off the car without it cracking when they moved it. The final finish has a couple of cracks, but they're not noticable except from up close while looking for them.

Clicky for bigger image of the Tipo spoiler.
