Audi TT-RS Spoiler on R8? Possible Mod?

Hi guys,

As the title says, is this possible?

Here's a pic for reference:

Just joking, i think it looks great, im guessing you would paint it white like your car? I know the reiger spoiler is styled like the TT-RS spoiler. If the TT-RS one fitted then why would the reiger one even exist? Think about it son!

The OEM moveable spoiler on the MkII TT and the R8 are very, very similar. Don't know about the bodywork on the TTRS as haven't seen one in person (not in the States, yet). I'd think it would work with minimum fuss, but that is just a guess.

Hey Guys,

Just investigated the spoilers.

TT-RS Spoiler looks like it could fit onto the movable spoiler on the R8 (Not 100% confirmed) however if you look at the GT spoiler, you can clearly see the TT-RS spoiler is much shorter, so I don't think it will look right.

Conclusion is better to get the original GT spoiler or Rieger one

Thanks

I've got a TTRS spoiler setup coming in for a customer over the next 2-3 weeks and I could get some measurements, however I suspect that it's a bit narrow for the R8.

Let me know if anyone is interested in the measurements.

Please see the below image to which I have added two red lines across the width of the spoiler mounts.

The Audi TT bootlid tapers from the bootlid tip toward the rear windscreen \____/.

The dimension at the outermost edge is approx 39.5 inches. I have yet to measure this versus the R8 rear spoiler to see if the TTRS rear spoiler mounts will line up adequately with the R8 rear spoiler.

The next task would be to estimate the TTRS entire spoiler width to see how this would compare with the R8.

I will have the TTRS spoiler measured:

Width between mounting points
Width at the widest point of the spoiler

Alex, do some measurements of the curvature (looking down) too. Might look okay, but might be a little odd if it's too far off from the R8 lines...

Well the widest point of the TTRS is 72.5" and the R8 is 75.0" (minus mirrors). The TTRS spoiler is not as wide as the TTRS's body in the rear, while the R8 GT spoiler is essentially as wide as the rear of the R8. So already starting with a 2.5" deficit in vehicle width and then design difference you will get a fairly narrow wing for the R8. I did a quick and dirty photoshop using the widths to get a quick ratio:



I think the curvature is right, but the spoiler may be a bit narrow for the R8.

Cheers,
