Rear Active Spoiler Retro fit ??? possible ???

[b11mey]

ok guys as you can tell im a noob and yes ive posted some reply etc but ive had my beast almost a year and im still living the dream. one of the main reasons i bought the RS3 was i saw the audi sport concept way back the one with the LED air brake and wow what a good looking car.
ive been a fan of the rear active spoiler for a while, my first audi 3.2TT then i grew up when i had my R8... so now im wondering is it possible to retro fit something on the new 2017 saloon?
can't see anything and yes before i get more complaints or gripes i love the styling now but how cool would it be to have the magic tail rise and fall !!!!

good or bad id like to hear opinions or if people have considered it or even attempted

I don’t think it would suit the nature or style of the car and probably wouldn’t add any functionality.

i agree that its maybe not the right mod and its not really for function but for a Holy **** look at that kinda reaction lol and im a child and like to see it coming up

Here’s something I came accross, maybe right up your alley. See at 1:15 active rear spoiler does its thing.

thank you for that... the reason i fell in love with the saloon is that car lol
that being said im not going for the air brake look with lights but in going to fit a A7 active spoiler. ive got the parts so i will post pics as the project evolves..
just going to be fun to see if i can get it to work lol

will do.. ive got the bits just have to get my superglue and masking tape

does anyone know if active spoiler control is embedded into the system or different for each model if you get what i mean.?

ill be starting next week with a mock up etc. going to take a while to size and get the angles right.

will do. ive got a bunch of pics ill upload over the weekend as im having another bash at it. all pretty straight forward atm. just body work . but i need help as i don't weld and then the electrics i think will be the biggest hassle.
cheers for the positive feedback. i know some purists are not to keen on the idea..

I love it when people try and do things like this. I also think the clubsport concept with this spoiler looked great. Good luck. Keep us updated with how you get on!

I thought that was an RS5 at 1st glance.

Same... looks totally different with that kit on

I think that vid is about 4 years old, it’s a shame they didn’t implement the fatter rear end on the rs3

Audi fitted an active spoiler to the 2009 RS3 sports-back prototype.
Didn't have the best look.

I'm actually trying to do this as well using an OEM rs7 wing. It will be plug and play as the 8v ECU supports it and can be turned on via obd11 or vcd. Just use the oem spoiler module and it should work, however, the fabrication part is where I haven't started as I need to get another trunk lid to experiment with. So far haven't found any that are cheap enough and not completely damaged, here in the states.
