Sajith Kumar Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Dear Carnity members, Good day. Hope all is well. I drive a Nissan Patrol Safari 2005 Model (beige color). I am looking to add on a spoiler for upgrading the look . I request any info you could share on the below matters, please: 1. What would a good one cost me, with installation? 2. Would it involve any drilling on the roof, or is it clipped on? 3. Does having a spoiler affect mileage of the vehicle? Grateful for any support. Thanks in Advance!

Barry Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 1 - You should be able to find a spoiler for 2-300 in the aftermarket parts shops. If you want to go for NISMO parts, obviously it will cost a lot more. Allow for 1-200 if you want to paint it. Installation maybe another 100. People here are fighting for sales so you can always ask for free installation when you’re haggling on purchase price. 2 - Depends on the spoiler. Some are stuck on, some are screwed on. Windscreen bonding glue is great for sticking them on, almost as strong as screwing it on, but it will damage your paint if you want to remove it. Bolt on spoilers can also be stuck on this way. Either way, whichever option you choose, removing the spoiler will cause some sort of damage. Personally, I like to screw and glue. Double security. 3 - Yes, your gas mileage will be decreased but the amount will be negligible. You probably won’t notice. A set of roof bars would have a more noticeable impact on mileage. Anyway, you drive a patrol, when did gas mileage become important? 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sajith Kumar Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi @Barry, Thanks for the detailed reply mate! 1. I’ve been to the aftermarket shops in Sajaa.

Rahimdad Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Try after the Sahara Centre in Sharjah going towards Sharjah College there are many accessory shops there. Best bet to get a spoiler of your choice there. It's near the tires shops. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sajith Kumar Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hello Folks, my apologies, only able to post just now. 1. Visiting the Aftermarket shops in SHJ, behind Sahara & near the Tire shops, I found only one shop selling the spoiler in Grey, cost including installation was AED 450, last price quoted was AED 420. I skipped this. 2. Next I visited the user spare shops in Sajaa, but could not find any event after trawling about for ~2 hours. . So the hunt continues 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
