and you'll find the part you are looking for. i suggest you get the part and take it to a reputable body shop for install. Or do it yourself. I think it needs a hole on both sides and double sided tape. |

So which would you rather have happen... a scraped and paint scratched bumper undersurface or a chin spoiler that has a slightly rarely seen barely perceptable worn area? |

They have the right part. I saw it myself when I was there, along with the directions. The directions do say it requires you to remove the front bumper, but people here have stated they did it without removing it. I'm just so fed up right now.
I'm going to take it to their body shop for the install because I need them to do something else as well. My car was hit when I first got it and the front bumper had to be replaced (see the pics in one of my on line albums). When they wet sanded the new bumper and fender they missed a very small spot, so they have to touch that up. Hopefully I will be able to kill two birds with one stone. It's going to the shop on the 23rd.

Does the 'aero package' include the front spoiler? I paid for this and I don't have it? Same thing with the deflector as pointed by the arrow; I don't have that either.
Crap. Stupi me. My car is one year old and I wonder what kind of crap I will get if I go back to the dealer. |

Cab83, Sounds like you’re in the same boat! The aero package includes both the rear wing and the front chin spoiler, as does the sports package. To my knowledge, the front deflectors are not apart of any package. They come with the car regardless of the options you purchase.

I just received my front chin spoiler from z1 and I can not figure out how to install it! The smaller straight lip is part of the factory bumper (can't unbolt it) and its in the way of the new aero lip! I am clueless HELP!

Can't help with the spoiler, but the deflectors, you can definitely do that yourself. No drilling required.
The pair were wrapped in plastic and in the trunk when I bought mine. Each has three bolts but I think only 4 bolts are in the package because one of the bolts on each side is already attached under the car as it holds on some other bit of trim. Remove that bolt, place deflector, bolt all 3 up. Holes are already there, in front of the wheels. Super easy. Took me about 5 minutes to attach both sides the morning after I bought my Z. Oh, and mines just a Touring; no other packages. Pretty sure the deflectors are supposed to be standard to all Z's. Good luck with the spoiler. Last edited by Augustus; 05-18-2012 at 07:53 PM. |
