The VW Golf R is a small but capable performer on the roads. This is perfect as a starter car for a family. Open the door at the back and you will gain access to a decent amount of storage for its class. It is available in various trims and aftermarket upgrade options are also quite plenty. For example, you can get a Golf R Oettinger spoiler to get a more sporty look while also improving the smoothness of the ride. Spoilers work to reduce drag and keep the vehicle close to ground for better control during windy conditions. Consider the following before making a purchase:
Material
You want a material that is lightweight yet durable. Nobody wants to increase the weight of their car too much as that will only lead to fuel inefficiency and a different driving feel. The two most popular options include carbon fiber and fiber reinforced plastic. They both have high tensile strength although the former tends to perform better than the latter. If extreme loads are expected such as when running at high speeds, then carbon fiber is the way to go. Otherwise, FRP may be sufficient.
Installation
What is the level of difficulty associated with the installation of the spoiler? Some might require you to modify the current bodywork before you can fit the new spoiler in. Others might be able to go as an add-on without modifications. You don’t have to worry about making too many complicated changes. Just place the new spoiler on top of the existing one and affix with screws. Everything can be completed in less than five minutes if you have the required tools. Some sellers offer fitting services for their customers.
Design
Check out the different designs to see if you like their aesthetic quality. Browse the galleries of the item as it is installed on the Golf R Oettinger spoiler and consider whether you like the look. Of course, you should also check the performance as tested in reviews whenever available. Opt for known brands that are trusted to deliver on their promises to get your money’s worth. Look for the return policy and warranty information.
Price
The price of the item is another major consideration. Expect to pay more for higher quality and better performance. All other things being equal, carbon fiber products will always be more expensive than fiber reinforced plastic. Consider whether you are willing to pay for the premium. A generic item will also be cheaper but a branded item is likely to be of a higher standard.
