    Seasonal Spoilers??

    A VW buddy of mine says he uses two different front spoilers - one for summer that is lower and one for winter that is a little higher. I would relate these to the difference between the i and is spoilers.

    Do any of you guys do that? How long does it take to change out these parts and dont' the clips break when you pull the spoiler off?

    Yeah i do this on my iX..

    its a dozen clips or so. inspect how they hold the lip.. take your time and you wont break em.

    takes very little time.

      I have taken my lip on and off a few times with no ill effects. Takes like 2 min to change them...

            the seasons vary soo much in San Diego ;)

            but if given the option, I would rock a snow plow for a high speed track like Willowsprings

              I pull mine off every time I have to pull my car onto a lift at work. It takes about 30 seconds to pop off. There are 10 clips that hold the spoiler on. If they are the original clips, they are probably going to break. If you buy a new set of clips, they should last a long time even with continuous swapping of the spoilers.

                I love that neither of my ///M3;s have this problem. L.A. is great.
