Front spoiler - sporty look and better aerodynamics!

Spoiler is the general term for automotive components that influence the aerodynamics of a vehicle. The components are used in both cars and trucks. From a physical point of view, a spoiler affects the flow around a vehicle. Spoilers are mainly known from the racing car and tuning sectors. The components are made of plastic or carbon. The body buoyancy should be reduced by the air flowing around it. As a result, the power transmission to the ground is improved. The vehicle is more stable in a curve and has improved overall driving characteristics. The braking distance can also be positively influenced by a spoiler at high speeds.

Front spoilers are intended to reduce the lift forces in the area of ​​the front axle. However, a reduction in the lift forces can lead to an increase in air resistance. It is therefore important to purchase a front spoiler that works efficiently and not only reduces lift, but ideally also reduces or only slightly increases air resistance. In general, a well-designed front spoiler can also lower air resistance and reduce lift forces. In addition, good front spoilers can also improve the braking effect and ensure a better supply of engine cooling air. When buying, the properties of the respective front spoiler should therefore be carefully considered. It is advisable to ask a tuning workshop for a front spoiler that is suitable for the respective vehicle.

When buying, you should make sure that the front spoiler is really suitable for mounting on the respective vehicle. The front spoiler should come with ABE (General operating permit) can be bought. Despite the ABE, the interested tuner should get one Audit authority (TÜV, Dekra & Co.) whether the spoiler may be mounted and whether it may only be driven on the road with an ABE that must be carried along at all times. Depending on the spoiler, an examination and approval by an officially recognized expert may be necessary.

Furthermore, when buying, attention should be paid to flawless workmanship and good design of the front spoiler. The front spoiler should not only reduce the lift forces in the front axle area, but also reduce the air resistance. In addition, the front spoiler should have a good cooling air supply to the engine and ideally have a positive effect on the brake system. If the front spoiler is not sufficient to ensure good power-to-ground transmission, for example in a racing car, then a spoiler possibly help.

Front spoiler - observe ABE

Spoilers are subject to registration if they do not have an ABE (general operating permit). If there is no ABE, the vehicle owner must have the spoiler and the installation of the spoiler checked and also approved by a test authority (TÜV) or an officially recognized expert. If you want to buy a spoiler, whether front or rear spoiler, for your vehicle, you should make sure that the ABE or at least one Teilegutachten available. The ABE must always be carried with you. On the other hand, spoilers with a parts certificate are used modification acceptance entered in the vehicle documents and one receives a Formthat must remain in the vehicle until the change has been adopted in the papers. Furthermore, it is advisable to ask about the legal situation yourself with ABE, at a testing authority or in the tuning workshop and to find out whether the respective spoiler can really be installed and driven in traffic.
