NC Roadster Coupe Bootlid Spoiler

Postby Hammer » Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:31 pm

I have a colleague who's in final negotiations on buying an NC Roadster Coupe.

I belive he's trying to negotiate a new '07 plate NC RC for $45k drive-away (not sure if it's auto however, as I know initially he wanted auto). :shock:

One thing he's asked me is what's available (& where to get) a bootlid spoiler for the NC RC. Personal I wouldn't put one, but to each its own.

There does not seem to be a factory spoiler available in Australia for the RC (only the soft top). So it has to be an after-market type.

Any suggestions/photos/recommendations?

I think they are the same despite only the rag top being listed.

Apparently they are of different shape. The RC is a little squarer with a slight lift to the edge, where as the soft top seems to curve downwards.

Looking at both photos, it seems to show a slight difference.

Hammer is correct, there is a slight difference in the rear end.

this has been brought up before recently, and from those threads (1 2) it seems you might want to try calling the Canada dealers
