[Making a Duckbill Spoiler]

Mk1 EuroBumpers

Euro Bumpers for the MK1 are next to impossible to find. Your best bet is to search German E-bay or contact a stateside parts dealer with connections in Europe.. be prepared to spend at least $400 U.S.

Mk1 Spoliers

There are basically three types of Front spoilers still available for the mk1 Scirocco...The Spoiler from a Scirocco "S" was produced by Zender and is no longer made but can still be found by personal sellers or, if your lucky, off a car in a junkyard.


Another spoiler produced by Kamai is still in production and can be bought new from http://www.parts4vws.com , basically anything VW related can be bought at that website ..the Kamai spoiler is the deepest spoiler on the market so if you plan on lowering your Scirocco...WATCH OUT on driveways!

**Props to NogaroGreen for the pics!


Finally.. the duckbill spoiler for a mk1 Scirocco can be one of the hardest to find. U.S. cars came with a little duckbill that was only about 2" deep and looked quite wimpy on the cars out here. If your lucky enough to find a euro duckbill...GRAB IT!! They look much better at about 4" deep and actually contribute aerodynamically to prevent front end lift at high speeds.

Duckbill Spoiler

A cheaper alternative is to go to your local Chevy Restoration Parts supplier and ask for a Spoiler from a 1969 Camaro...then go to your local hardware store and buy 3 -2" L-brackets..3-10mm nuts...3-10mm bolts...9-lock washers..and 3 sheet metal screws. Across the top of the spoiler, drill a hole in the middle, and one about a 1.5" from each end of the spoiler. Then mount the L-brackets to the top of the spoiler using the nuts, bolts and washers you just bought. Next, go under the front of your Scirocco and mount the top of the L brackets to the bottom of the lower rad support using the sheet metal screws and 3 remaining washers! Now you have yourself a $25 duckbill!!

Rabbit GTI spoilers also fit the MK1 Scirocco on both the front and the back.
