As the boot lids are the same, the spoiler should fit.

How are they different?

I'm sure the question has popped up before, with the bootlid and bonnets being the only common parts of bodywork?

The spoilers are the same , only difference from a cab to a 2 door is the side skirts and doors.

My kit was isntalled a few years ago , I got the recipts for it. The cab was badly treated for many years but was kept look good. Also they altered my rear pannels to fit face lift rear lights.

Getting back on topic, yes the bootlids are the same but the reason even BMW never fited any spoiler to any convertible e30 was because it upsets the turbulance in the car even more than without one. The official sales speil on the official motorsport convertibles to the bmw salesmen stated:

Ӣ NO REAR SPOILER ALLOWED

I actually find it is really good for parking as I know where the back is. I would seriously have it just for that reason alone :)
