OrxyR Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hi I’m thinking about buying a gloss black version of one of these to put on an Oryx white R, does anyone have any experience of them at all? ￡68.40 22％ Off | Gloss Black TCR Rear Roof Spoiler Wing Lip For Volkswagen Golf MK7 MK7.5 GTI GTD R R-Line 2013-2020 https://a.aliexpress.com/_u6zPfr Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msportman Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Bargain for a TCR spoiler. Just popped a Maxtron on mine which is Oryx. Comes with 3M tape Easy job tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrxyR Posted April 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks. It seemed really cheap but hey it’s only a piece of plastic so it sounds right price wise. Is it easy to fit? I guess you only get one chance to align it properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 I bought this from AliExpress last summer & it’s been fine. it’s a performance pack “style” for an estate , but it wasn’t available on the estate pp as the lid is a different shape to the 3/5 door hatch.

OrxyR Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Looks spot on! I suspect I'll be ordering mine later on in the week just wanted to check what experiences people have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greigzy Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Fitted one at the start of the year - great fit for the circa £60 odd they are. I nipped up to my local VW dealer who had a TCR in and struggled to see a difference. A nice subtle alternative to the likes of an Oettinger spoiler.

OrxyR Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Looks great nice and subtle I’m definitely going to order one just need to ensure I fit it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greigzy Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Yeah, I would say the adhesive is very strong/sticky. But, the TCR spoiler follows the lines of the existing spoiler quite nicely. So quite easy to get right on the first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrxyR Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Silly question - does it have a slight gap above the bodywork or does it fit flush ok? Just thinking its affixed by a 3M style pad so there must be some form of gap created? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greigzy Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Just went out to check - I would say a very slight gap, but I can hardly get a finger nail under it. Not something I had noticed until requested to check 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrxyR Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Sorry thanks I’ve been quoted £60 to fit it from my mechanic he must be having a giggle! Edited April 26, 2022 by OrxyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I had one of the tcr style ones from aliexpress … could fault it to be honest . Took a couple of weeks to arrive but was packaged well and fitted 100% spot on . Unfortunately for me it was a little too subtle , so removed it and put a oem + from maxton on . Everyone thinks it’s a genuine VW item still , helped by the gloss roof to tie into the pan roof Adam7.5R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrxyR Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Looks awesome! At this rate I'll never order one! This guide will be useful for me so sharing in case of use for others https://www.maxtondesign.co.uk/pdf/cap-spoiler_fitting-manual-maxton.pdf bneh and theskivingscholar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been weighing up the TCR style one vs Maxton & think I'm sold on the Maxton after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
