Singer style spoiler
Hi guys,
When I bought my 964 it had a large tail wing that I immediately removed. I replaced it with stock, but had always wanted the ducktail.
I thought a nice compromise would be the singer style wing from club autosport UK. Just installed it this weekend and I'm posting a few pics. I like the look overall. I might swap the grille for a matching black grill, like my reflector bar.

Looks sharp. I assume it still deploys and retracts?

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll answer the various questions in order:
The spoiler came unpainted/ unprimed. I used a local shop to color match. There is a natural groove on the spoiler to bifurcate the tail edge, which I opted to have painted black. The paint was rather expensive, but it had quite a few coats and multiple clearcoat as well.
It still operates fully. That's the nice aspect of using this vs ducktail. I didn't like the idea of changing my whole deck lid. Will post some pics when I have time this weekend.
Very easy to install. This is relative, I suppose. I've removed the whole lifting spoiler mechanism before, which is not pleasant. Installing this spoiler is very simple, involving only the 4 Allen bolts that hold the top of the spoiler onto the actuating mechanism. So, all of the moving parts stay intact, you simply need a long Allen wrench to remove/ replace.
The part was very well manufactured, though some minor adjustments were needed. The bolt holes were a bit small, so I simply bored then out to correct size with a hand drill. The grille piece is separate and not as high quality as I'd like. It's chromed plastic, which feels cheap. It looks good and it's overall fine, but I was hoping for a higher quality grille. I almost didn't want to use it after paying what I did for paint! Price is correctly posted above, but note the grille is an additional 350 gbp. In hindsight, I should not have paid $500 for the chromed plastic grille. Assumed it to be much higher quality for that price. Didn't even realize it was that expensive until I just reviewed what I actually paid.
Happy to answer any questions on it. Feel free to pm. I had my eye on this for a while and the post brexit devalued GBP v USD pushed me over the edge. No VAT on US sales, btw.
