Default Turbo Spoiler on a C2?
I wanted to get the Turbo Rear Spoiler for my '03 C2 Coupe. Will it Work/Fit?

I already have side skirts, will I need to make any mods to the front of the car so the car doesn't handle different?

Thanks

You probably could, but you'd have to replace the whole rear deck, and you might lose the active aero-spoiler....

Default Turbo rear spoiler
We had done an extensive research into fitting a Turbo rear spoiler onto our '02 C2, the TT rear deck will not fit but can be "cut" to fit (the mechanic at Gemballa did not recommend it), the biggest hassle will be the new Turbo wiring harness from the main computer to the dashboard and the rear wing to activate at 75 mph. We also ask the mechanic about adding twin turbos to the C2 engine. The mechanic recommended us "not to do it, it might be cheaper to buy a used TT"
Mashaw has a TT rear wing but it does not move up and down automatically.

the factory wing will not fit the 996 narrow body or the c4s, your best bet is from ma shaw, mike is a great guy and the wing looks great,once it is properly fitted and painted.
cheers

This was an old post someone renewed. I've since found out your phat, widebody Turbo spoiler will not fit my slim, slender, narrow body C2.
