Hi All,

I'm the proud owner of a 1990 928S4, having loved them since a teenager I finally managed to get one albeit 22years old.

Unfortunatley the rubber rear spoiler is looking a bit worn and tired, just wondered if anyone new how to or the best way to get it back into shape without replacing.

Cheers

Congratulations on finally getting the car of your dreams.

If the rear spoiler is just looking a bit lacklustre then I would suggest trying some Autoglym Bumper Care Gel - it worked a treat on my S2 spoiler (although I do realise that's smaller and more flexible). I also used it on the door and tailgate seals, plus it smells nice too!

Alternatively, if you're feeling extravagant, you could consider getting it painted to match the body, I believe this was a factory option by 1990 so the purists can't object :)

..., and, if.., your going to remove the spoiler for r/r, watch out for those mounting bolts, they,d rather stay there, as they don,t take too kindly to being evicted .
