I don't know if Audi make one - and if they don't it's probably for a very good reason. It's not needed as the standard automatic spoiler will deploy if and when required and provide all the down force that you need. If it's for aesthetic reasons then there is probably no hope for you

Please please reconsider !! You will look like a boy racer trying to make his TTS look like a TTRS :?

 

Ditto the above. Will just make the car look like you've been on a shopping trip to Halfords. I don't like the fixed wing on the RS either. I optioned it off my TT RS and will do the same when I order the mk3 RS. I suspect a fixed wing, either Audi OEM or an ABT one, offers little more or even less down force than the retractable wing. Hence it's really about aesthetics and IMO the TT looks far better without a fixed rear wing. Clearly Audi know that, else why would they make the wing retractable across the range and an option for the RS. I rest my case

 

What can I say, im a boy racer at heart

Many hours in my childhood reading MaxPower [smiley=book2.gif]

I hear you and actually your right. I was trying to make mine an RS. For me especially on the TTRS I love the styling. Guess I was aiming for making mine a TTrS in the interim.

From all the reviews I have read the TTRS mk3 really is something special.

Ill just wait until I get one of those

Good decision mate

 

I bought an Audi one for my MK2 TTS & also fitted it myself. I used VCDS to code the car so that it didn't throw up any fault codes - severing the cable sounds a bit extreme £ I'm not sure what it will achieve? When I was looking for my MK3 TTS I saw one which had a fixed spoiler it looked like an OEM one? So they must exist..
I put one in my MK2 as I didn't like the look of the back with the spoiler down.. it looked great ....

This year a specific option called "S-line competition" have been offered on the german market.
It was also supposed to come to Italy but it never did.
A fixed wing was included in the kit.
It seems that even in germany this option is not available anymore.
It was supposed to fit the 2,0petrol.
I'm sure you can get at least an original rear wing from Audi

 

Its called a spoiler for a very good reason....

 

Yes I have the official fixed spoiler on my TTS and I love it.

My car is not trying to be a TTRS, nor am I attempting to be anything I am not, I just like the look of it.

Just a little bit different from every other TTS MK3 out there, there are plenty of cars out there with fixed spoilers, so it's hardly a pioneering decision :lol:

 

Who fitted it, and what happens to the automatic spoiler on the car already to prevent it coming up at certain speeds?

 

Mine was sprayed locally and fitted by my local Audi dealer, it takes a couple of hours or so to fit. They then code the automatic spoiler out of the system, so it doesn't try to lift and the button in the cockpit doe not work either.

I have no issues with the look of it at all, it suits the car and it is rare to see a Mk3 TTS with a spoiler.

 

Any pictures Johnny ?

 

You do know what fixed spoilers are useful for?

 

As requested...

 

can I find this wing in the US??

 

:roll: that looks a bit out of place on a TT I'm afraid. Each to their own I suppose...

+ 1 each to their own.

Not as bad as I envisaged but, to me, it still looks like a TTS pretending to be a TTRS

 

I fitted one on my last TT 2 years ago, remember it being a pig if a job (also very expensive)
I was never happy with the results and wished I hadn't went ahead !

 

I am not putting these pictures up here for forum critique, these are to show a prospective buyer what the spoiler looks like.

You are entitled to your own opinion of course and I respect that, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. I certainly don't agree it is trying to be a TTRS, if I wanted one of them, I would buy one :lol:

It's a bit like some of the colours that people choose for their car, some of them make me cringe :lol:

Completely agree Johnny - only throwing in my personal opinion on the after market spoiler. I'm the first to accept that we all have different tastes and requirements. I'm sure that the spec of my TT (below) will be another's worst nightmare but it works for me

 

I found the thread I created some years ago when I put the Audi accessory spoiler on my MK2 TTS, I got the spoiler sprayed but fitted it myself which was fairly straight forward. I can't see the MK3 being that much different to the MK2:-

http://www.ttforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=217370

 

A coachbuilder and family friend fitted mine, he commented that it wasn't easy to fit .
Everyone to there own, my personal opinion was I was disappointed with end result / spoiler was supplied by audi, possibly they may have more styles available now

 

Very nice, I didn't like it at first but now I'm definitely a fan.

Thanks for posting the pictures!

Personally I like the look of the fixed spoiler on the TT, I don't think it looks like a TTS trying to be a TTRS more of a bit of personalisation. I have had the TTRS spoiler fitted to My TTS to compliment the cars shape. I have Carbon Fibre Mirrors, Fuel filler flap and Carbon Fibre Hydro dipped the rear spoiler to match, something that isn't an option on the TTRS.

I'm surprised that your local Audi dealer coded out the deployable electric spoiler as my local dealer says they can't do it without a coded, unfortunately this didn't come with my spoiler (supplied by Audi) and i have an annoying fault come up when starting the car warning that there is a spoiler fault. Can anyone offer any advice on this (other than refitting the original spoiler)

Many thanks

Pete

 

Body coloured one works the black one with black wheels huge no no..
My eyes are burning.

Doesnt look like a car trying to be an RS, its a TTS with a spoiler - no doubt the spoiler will become standard soon just like on the MK2 when the facelift lands. If you want to do it, do it. F anyone who's says otherwise.

As for the ask about, you have to code out the spoiler.
Get a dealer to do it - many won't. Or get a VAGCOM and do it yourself. Third option would be take it to a specialist and have them do it for you.

 

Sorry for damaging your eyes 8) , i guess like all things its a matter of preference regarding colours and accessories, the colour scheme was actually a suggestion of the dealership, inspired by the same scheme on an R8 they had in the showroom.

I have asked 3 different local dealers and 2 specialists regarding coding out the spoiler, the dealerships say they can't/won't do it, even though they happily took my money to buy it. Both local specialists have had the car for a day and only managed to clear the fault but not code the spoiler out, my belief was that it would be a simple enough job for a specialist ...but apparently not. I'll probably end up refitting the original and selling the car on.

 

Personally I love the mods you've made Peter, gives it a more aggressive and unique look, not totally convinced on the black fuel cap but I love the carbon fibre spoiler
