2019’ spoiler on a 2018’ TTRS

[rblauson]

I like the 19’ spoiler much better. I wonder if I can retrofit and how much of the 19’ spoiler would be needed- assuming the mounting brackets etc are the same.
Anyone know ?

With enough money anything is possible

[rblauson]

Therin lies the problem- I’m not rich

[Cale262]

Maybe you can find a new owner of a 19 that likes the more subtle 18 spoiler and make a trade...anything is possible.

[sirsycott]

it's a bolt on mod, and very possible, you just have to unbolt the spoiler, ( which not many have done so , but it is for sure possible)

you do have to undo the plate that affixes the arms above the boot to get to the bolts directly attached from arms--> into spoiler

part numbers are the same all the way up to the spoiler itself, and mounting positions are the same as observed from 18-19

basically if someone has etka, they just need to buy the spoiler part itself

unto trunk trim to get to the lid assembly , unbolt the top plate on the lid , unbolt the arm nubs and take off spoiler

To add to sirsycott's info , this pic shows a good breakdown.

[rblauson]

Haha
Yep good plan indeed

[rblauson]

Dude you rock!
The only thing I’m confused about it is are there two or just one part/s I will need? I went to the local Audi dealers part window and the parts guy was relatively clueless but he showed me the parts breakdown of the 19’ spoiler - he just wasn’t sure how much of what I currently have as part of the 18’ assembly would “ carry over” so in other words he wasn’t at all sure which part/ parts I would need to purchase.
You sound infinitely more knowledgeable then him so if you are somehow capable of determining part # or #’s I’ll need it would be greatly appreciated.
One other thing the parts guy told me that the spoiler parts come unpainted ? If that’s my only choice who would you choose to paint it ? Having it done at Audi will likely be cost prohibitive.
Thanks for all your help.

[rblauson]

So would I just need part # 1 ?

Thanks Karl !
So based on what I see it’s just the spoiler itself ( part #1 on that part list ) ?

I just saw this option last night.... HG-Motorsport 'Aero One' rear wing

I have not seen a '19 exploded diagram yet, but sirsycott's comments make sense. I would be very surprised if Audi changed the mount plate, so hopefully yes, all that would be needed is the 2019 equivalent of part #1.

If the price point is in the same ballpark as the '18 spoiler then it could just be a matter of approx $1k for the part + paint costs to update the spoiler to the '19 version. So perhaps $1300-$1500 total.

If anyone has a similar exploded parts diagram of a '19 to show us, that would be great!

...

Yes, it looks nice. That option was also noted in this thread... https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...1#post13510541
My only concern is that seems like an iffy piece when it comes to actual functionality. Reading the overview it seems it is simply a 3M-taped cover over the existing spoiler.
Probably fine for street, but I don't think I'd trust something that is only taped onto the car (esp something that large aero related) on the track at serious speeds.
For $1k+ I will prob try to get the factory '19 refresh spoiler. I would love the AudiSport spoiler, but almost $5k is a bit too much for me. Maybe if it were a dedicated track car...

[Jeff_Jeske]

^ I agree but would have no problem using liquid nails instead of 3M tape ha ha. I do love the look of the 19' wing as well.

[Solution]

Bumping this. There's still no separate parts drawing for the '19-20 spoiler. I'd really love to get a carbon fiber version, but all I can find are MK2 options. Anyone come across anything?

from my research

8S0-827-918-A-GRU is the 2019 wing, the base is the same as the 2018's.

youd need
(1) 8S0-827-918-A-GRU main wing ($857.67)
(1) 8S0-827-987-GRU (left inner) ($102.83)
(1) 8S0-827-988-GRU (right inner) ($102.83)
(1) 8S0-827-645-GRU (left outter) ( $102.83)
(1) 8S0-827-646-GRU (right outter) ($102.83)

from audiusaparts.com your cost would be approximately $1,268.99 Plus paint and install

It seems very strange/impossible that it's the same PN for the main wing as the '18... Something doesn't seem right.

you can buy the gurney flap its not cheap thou

cheaper than sourcing the OEM parts lol .. unless you can find someone with a 2019 that upgraded their wing =D

with 2019 OEM cost, id rather just get this

Yes, that'd be another option as well

[Jeff_Jeske]

I had considered getting this one for track duty. I don't really like the attention starved ricer boy look of most aftermarket wings.

it is not the same part #

2018 is 8S0-827-918-GRU
2019 is 8S0-827-918-A-GRU

[HHughes1]

I'd really like to have a set of replacement risers that set the wing 2-3" higher.

[Culture]

Might want to verify that it doesn't completely obscure the rear view at that height.

Did you see these risers eurocharged is coming out with? Seems to be what you’re looking for. Not sure if they’d work for a ‘19 but I’m taking my ‘18 off that I’d sell ya if not...

[Shawn@PacificGerman]

We retrofitted the TTRS wing to our 2016 TTS - the base plate is the same for the 2018+ TTRS, you just need the specific 19+ parts mentioned above.

I'm in the process of doing this. I don't know how it worked out for Shawn. But there is very thick adhesive that holds the mounting plate, to the actual spoiler. I will try and post some pics. But the mounting plate broke when trying to remove it from the old spoiler.

So consider adding these 2 items to the list Brian@unitronic was kind enough to put together.

https://www.audiusaparts.com/oem-par...e-8s0827487gru - this is the mounting bracket, I don't know how you can possibly separate from the existing spoiler, without damaging it. You will have to get this painted.

https://www.audiusaparts.com/oem-par...kit-8s0827933j - this is all the adhesive and parts needed to attach the mounting bracket to your new spoiler. Without which, don't know how you put it back together like it was before.

Also, the wing tip end needs screws/bolts to tie them into the main spoiler. Do not have a parts number on that yet.

The bracket is made from a weird material, to me. Like the white dipping sticks fun a fun dip candy. Anyways, just sharing my experience with this project.

Overall, I probably would have gone with a carbon fiber spoiler like from automotive passions. Cause this, for me, will be over a $2k project with all the parts, paint and install needed.

You can buy the Gurney flap https://www.ilr-carbon.com/en/perfor...rney-flap.html

[tjkern]

Does anyone have the procedure to remove the wing completely? I ordered a carbon fiber wing and want to replace it myself.

[SconnieRoadie]

I am actually going from the 2019 to a carbon knock-off of the 2018. I have recently acquired a 2019 TTRS in turbo blue with alu-optic and the winglets on the spoiler are alu... Not a fan - the spoiler shape is good but not digging the matte silver winglets. Reality: used buyers and picky choosers aren't usually the same people ;).

Black winglets would tip the balance for me and considered plasti-dip but the carbon one was ~$200 (ebay) for the carbon/ABS 2018 replica and I can mount it to the spoiler support rather than having to disassemble the inside of the hatchback to get at the bolts. Will still have the alu-optic support but the wing will be carbon black.

Any update on this project? I really dig the 2019 spoiler and just got the rest of my CF bits from AP in the UK. This, along with carbon wrapped endpieces, would complete the look for me.

Update: looks like Osir now makes a 2019 carbon replica for $1300. Waiting on confirmation on the width, as it looks wider similar to the ILR wing.

I love the looks but I definitely spent more than $1300. If the black base wouldn’t have broke trying to remove the old wing it would have been close. But buying that piece, having to get it from Germany, get it painted added a lot of cost I wasn’t expecting. But very happy with it. IMG_1839.JPGIMG_1820.JPGIMG_1819.JPG

So was asked if I had anymore photos of the individual pieces. This is all I have. You’ll see the “wing tips” come in two pieces for each side. The unpainted inner part is posted earlier in the thread, so is the end of the spoiler and you can see tell how they attach but this pic has all 4 pcs, painted. Top right on the table.

If the first gentleman who did the retro, could share how they separated the spoiler from the mounting base, that would save people another $600-700 easy. I’m my minds eye it was just bolted from the underside. From what you see. But there is double sided foam tape that runs parallel along the long side of the spoiler , so like 8’ of tape, in addition to the bolts holding the spoiler to the mounting piece. As seen here. IMG_7325.jpg

Anyways, I have zero regrets. Looks fantastic. But until somebody can share how to reuse the mounting piece you better budget to just remove the old spoiler completely base and all and just bolt on the entire facelifted version.

I'm considering mounting the one from OSIR on my '18, this mounts to the existing base plate as the '19 wing does. I'd assume all that is required to remove the current wing from the backing plate is some heat and fishing line? I have removed trunk spoilers using this method in the past with great success.

Also looking at this. What i dont like are the visible screws on the endpates. The factory spoiler endplates must clip on. Pondering carbon wrapping factory pieces and going that route instead. Those screw holes really bug me (as do the fuel door screw holes).

Do you think a heat gun and some fishing line could have done the job? Thanks for posting, I ordered an AP spoiler which should be here in a week or two so this is good info to know. I think I may try some fishing line or even some very thin, flexible trim tools to cut the tape if its too thick for the fishing line...your picture helps though, thank again for that

[Cyttorak]

No idea. I’m no expert at car handy work. I laugh at myself cause I thought this was going to be easy peasy, how hard the just undo the bolts from the underside and attach the new wing. Lesson learned, glad to share it ain’t so easy.
