tech 2 spoiler question

[JF008]

Today I went to the BMW approved bodyshop near me to show the manager how (lightly) cracked and bubbly the tech 2 spoiler they painted for me few months ago has become. I was told its a fiber glass replica and is to be expected of such material, I told him its genuine, showed him the bmw stamp on it .... Anyhow he offers to repaint it for free and I wonder now if its an original spoiler as it is indeed fiber glass.

Anyone had similar issue with those spoilers? Are they fiber glass?

Cheers,

JF

Replica ones are fibre glass and genuine ones plastic.

Is yours in two parts with a BMW part number?

nope they are solid plastic and they are much heavier than the fibre glass crap, fibre glass ones are hallow

2 parts and bmw markings, the top part has the bmw roundel stamped with two clocks indicating date of production? Not sure about the bottom but when you knock on the parts they sound hollow.

Under the top part of the spoiler it says EKT Heckspoiler, Typ 2239881, Typ2 KBA 36466

Yep, genuine.

Thanks for making it clear That guy was quite convincing saying its not genuine, the problem is the did not rub it down then as it was a home made job from the previous owner

Thanks guys
