I love the black lettering. Now I want to do the same to my c4s, it will go well with my black roof
Where did you buy them?

I created it myself after much trial and error with different sizes and such. The tricky part was getting the curve right since that rear reflector actually has a slight curve to it and isn't straight across.



Send me your email address via PM and I'll send you the file. You can take it to any sign shop to have them cut the vinyl. I got 5 of them cut out for $20.

I think this looks pretty natural to me. The badge does not look out of place.

They did make a specific aero spoiler for the C4S that retains the center reflector. The part number is 996.512.901.04. I imagine the Turbo spoiler might fit, but you would lose the center reflector.

Here's a different angle shot of the rear for a better view of the spoiler.

Nope it will not. I've done extensive searching and reading on the topic searching for a wing for my C4S. There is a good thread over on 6 speed. A Google search for turbo spoiler on c4s will lead you to some links with side by side photos of a custom conversion.

The panel above the deck lid that holds the third brake light on the C4S is wider than the turbo's panel. Because of this the C4S deck lid is shorter than the turbo. Ask me how I know:

That is bizzare, there have been multiple people that put a turbo rear deck onto a 4s

Here's a nice looking wing for the C4s IMO. I believe it is a TechArt Type I.

That I'd like to see. Do you have any links?

Beyond the obvious size differences it would require major modifications on the underside of the deck lid due to different air box intakes and other obstacles. I'm not saying it can't be done but a ton of work would be required.

I have a spare turbo deck lid that I'm wanting to graft the lower portion of the C4S lid on to it to get the center reflector. It's on the back burner as I haven't found a used or damaged reflector at a reasonable price and I'm not going to buy a new one for an experiment as they are quite pricey.

If I ever do it I think I'd do what the OP did as the lettering looks awesome.

That's my favorite so far. I like it best because you don't end up with two third brake lights.
Note it does not replace the C4S decklid. It replaces the movable spoiler only.

There are some Gt3tek BetterBodies ? Clones of that rear spoiler bolt-on on ebay for <$800.

I really do like the OP black lettering.

I found a 2005 Renntech.org post on a Turbo Wing conversion to the C4S. In this install you loose the C4 Reflector
