2020 70th anniversary 695 Abarth adjustable rear spoiler?

Post by VisualKei » Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:11 am

So, is someone going to figure out a way to source the rear adjustable wing on the upcoming 2020 70th anniversary 695 Abarths?

Since there are only 1949 of that model being made I doubt that FCA made a whole raft of spares. Somebody is going to have to build a copy. If they do can they also make it electrically/hydraulically adjustable please.

Looks like a pretty unique piece of kit. Like Paul said, the best hope is that it gets cloned. Also likely would have to swap your hatch for one of the increasingly rare ones without an existing spoiler, unless the clone were made to overlay the abarth spoiler.

Any idea how much FCA charges for an unpainted, unspoilered hatch? I guess I could look it up, but Internet.

Less than some ebay sellers are selling damaged examples for. I've learned ebay sellers tend to charge MORE than the dealer for body parts, even when said parts are not in A++ condition and would therefore necessitate repainting or repair in many cases. I guess they prey on people who mistakenly assume ebay is cheaper, or perhaps those who really don't care that they're paying $500 for a part painted with scratches all over it, when for less than that they could have a factory new part that just needs paint.

Bumpers are the worst. I see rear bumpers all the time for sale that are crash damaged, torn, ripped, beat up, etc, selling for more than a new bumper.

That said I managed to get my hatch for around $250 shipped paint and all. Advertised as "like new" from a 4000 mile car... came with minor scratches and dents from kicking around the shop before it was boxed. You have to look for a while.

You can also try car-part.com though that leads to a lot of contacting individuals for "more info'...

I had my rear spoiler removed by a body shop. Much easier than swapping hatches & going through all the shenanigans of sourcing a non spoiler hatch.
