If you mount it on the rear hinge... won't you be sticking it on in the wrong direction?!

I suggest you need it mounted on the roof?

[carbonkilla]

only reason for mounting on the hinge to be honest is to save drilling the vehicle itself, ill check that out tomorrow, do you know if there is a way to do this though?

cheers

[carbonkilla]

does anybody have any ideas on this please, i have seen its doable in google images but not sure how to do it

cheers

The Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 have a spoiler available for them that sticks onto the hinges.

But the hinges of the Aygo are different and they sit closer together too.

Mounting the universal spoiler you linked to might be VERY difficult, als the hinges

mount to the rear ad the spoiler needs to mount ON TOP of tha cars bodywork...

I truly hope it doesnt look anything like this. Epic FAIL!

I`d suggest you post your enquiry in the Peugeot 107 Owners Club Forum. I once saw a pic of someone having it fitted to his car. He might best be able to help you. Good luck!

[carbonkilla]

like the link n no mine wont look like the fail attempt lol, thanks for the heads up, ill check it all out. I think i know what i want to do but its finding how to do it if that makes sence lol

[carbonkilla]

just thought i would put up a pic of the idea i had in mind to see if you guys think it looks ok or if it look daft, cheers

I have the official Toyota one on my car and I believe they glued it on to the roof. Can send a pic if needed.

[carbonkilla]

Cheers Marty I have seen how the official ones fit but mine wont just glue on due to its shape, how do u think it looks on my car by the way

[BlackRumple]

If you like it then that is all that matters to be honest. However I am not keen on it myself. It just looks wrong/out of tune with the rest of the car. Besides, the Aygo is such a car that if treads a very fine line of having a spoiler and looking good or looking like a car sized shopping trolley or pram.

[BlackRumple]

Slightly off topic, but I am liking your wheels. They really suit the car in an understated way.

[welshviking]

Myself i thing it looks awful, but thats my own personal feeling. Its up to you in the end.

Ouch! Sorry Carbon, but IMO you have wasted your money! It looks as bad as that giant ciggy in the passenger seat! Ugh....

[mrpj]

The description "spoiler", in my opinion, really is spot on with these monstrosities! Sorry but it looks really silly and totally wrong on an Aygo. Or any other car for that matter. £199 down the toilet pan I'm afraid.

It states "fits most booted vehicles" so surely unsuitable for a hatchback anyway?

[MartyB]

I think it might look a bit much on an Aygo if it sticks up too high but see how it looks when you have it on the car. Post some pics please :-)

[carbonkilla]

cheers for the replies, i think i might not bother fitting now then :( oh well, eBay here i come, glad you like the wheels though

no mate its drilled on as well...

[carbonkilla]

just a little update for you all, i have taken the spoiler to a custom car specialist and showed him what i have and what look i was after and he said.....

1 spoiler is too wide for the car (as stated by many of you)

2 its made for booted cars ( which i knew and many have pointed out)

BUT

he then went on to say he can chop things about and make the width shorter so its in keeping with the car, make tiny brackets so it can sit at the correct height and he then addded it will look the nuts once finished, as soon as its done i will post pics to let you all see, only down side is i gotta wait 2 weeks for him to fit it in his busy schedual

Yeah, you can make the width shorter. I bought a VW lower lip, and fitted it to my Micra years ago, and becaue the VW lip was slightly wider. I did a "cut, and shut" job. Basically sawed the thing in two, and then glued it back together, and painted it so you couldnt see the join.

Hope the brackets the specialist makes are good, and not a £1.20 job from B&Q lol. Good luck though, and do what makes you happy, and not anyone else.

[AygoIronman]

.............meanwhile. Lets laugh at other people "super market trolleys"!

What do you guys think?

[AygoIronman]

Sorry, forgot to attach the file. What do you guys think?

[jjj_aygo]

Unless it's got a 1.8 MR2 lump in the back and its rear wheel drive... there isn't a lot of point.

Unless of corse you want to mess up your MPG, and dignity all in one go

[Jan&tone]

looks a little ars* heavy!
