Spoiler for VAZ 2114 - how to choose, install, replace and repair

Is a spoiler needed for a VAZ 2114?

Spoilers are becoming increasingly popular among owners of domestic cars, but sometimes they are frankly unnecessary; in this article we will discuss the need for such a part for the VAZ 2114.
Many car owners, when tuning their car, try to install as many improvements as possible on it. Both technical and visual, but sometimes such improvements may not have a very good effect on the dynamics and control of the car.

A little about the functions of the part

The wing is one of the elements that affects the aerodynamics of the car.
It is responsible for organizing the correct direction of the air flow coming from the trunk of the car or its roof. Thanks to the presence of such a part, it is possible to avoid various turbulence, as well as the appearance of vacuum zones that may occur behind the car. Thanks to this spare part, the aerodynamic drag of the car is reduced.

In addition to the fact that the wing presses and holds the car well on the road surface, it also has one useful function in rainy weather. As everyone knows, the spoiler is also an external tuning element. It is often installed on VAZ cars for precisely this reason.

Aerodynamic drag

The drag coefficient actually decreases after installing a wing on a car, and this fact has been proven.
The percentage of this coefficient depends only on the shape and size of the installed wing. If such an element is installed in conjunction with a hood air intake, the drag coefficient may become even lower.

That is why we must say that a spoiler for the VAZ 2114 is a really necessary accessory, not only improving the appearance, but also affecting the technical characteristics.

As for those elements that are needed on the VAZ 2114 spoiler, it is worth mentioning the installation of brake lights, which will significantly increase the level of safety on the road, and will not affect other technical characteristics, both parts and the car as a whole. Moreover, such an improvement will not require a lot of money or effort, because installing a brake light is very simple.

If you wanted to remove the device from the trunk lid of your VAZ 2114, we advise you to reconsider this decision, because this element not only decorates the car body, but also significantly affects its technical characteristics and aerodynamics.

Body

The simplest tuning of the body of a VAZ 2114 car is painting the body in unusual colors or using stickers. The game of contrasts will make the car catchy and noticeable while driving

When repainting, it is important to coordinate the actions with the traffic police, because the color of the car is listed in the documentation

An interesting detail of the car modification are the air intakes. Changing the appearance of the hood and roof will not improve the driving performance of the car, but will make its appearance even more unusual.

A rarer, catchier option is “lambo doors”. Car doors that open upward will not go unnoticed. The operation is quite difficult, the main thing is not to forget about adjusting the gaps.

Optics

After repainting, tuning the headlights will help make the car look unusual, and sometimes improve driving comfort at night. You can paint the lamps yourself, install LEDs and lenses in them. For those who don’t want to bother, there are factory headlight options for the VAZ 2113-15 that differ from the standard ones.

Spoiler

The spoiler for the VAZ 2114 is not a very popular, but original tuning detail. Rarely used because a front-wheel drive car does not need improved aerodynamics. Correctly selected size, color, dimensions of the part will help improve the appearance of the car. However, tuning experts recommend abandoning the spoiler in favor of changing the appearance of the trunk or using a small, not too noticeable part.

Body kits

In addition to the spoiler, there are entire sets of body kit parts for the VAZ 2114. These include:

• front bumper;
• rear bumper;
• wing;
• wing pads.

These parts can improve air flow to the engine, increase aerodynamic properties and simply the appearance of the car. Tuned body parts are sold both individually and as whole sets. They differ in appearance, strength, weight and a number of other parameters. The disadvantage of such tuning is the high price of body parts.

Side mirrors

Side mirrors of the VAZ 2114 series are not the most convenient rear view device. They are small, provide limited visibility, and form ice in cold weather. Specialized stores sell mirrors that eliminate the shortcomings of basic devices. New mirrors will provide a better appearance of the car, improve visibility, increase comfort and driving safety.

How to install a spoiler on a VAZ 2114

To increase the aerodynamics of their car, drivers install special devices - spoilers. With them, the appearance of transport completely changes. Devices are installed at the rear and front. This makes the design modern and attractive.

How does a brake light work?

In order to set up a brake light that lights up at the right time on the bumper, you must first understand how the system for supplying information from the brake pedal of the VAZ-2114 works. Without the necessary knowledge, you don’t even need to start doing everything manually, because most likely the driver won’t succeed.

When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake light comes on. From it, voltage is supplied through all the necessary wiring to the device for dividing the same current, from where it is supplied to the analog input. After this, 14 digital pins are activated thanks to specially tuned pulses.

What does it look like?

Large spoilers affect the aerodynamic performance of the car. Thanks to these devices, the car is able to reach high speeds while driving and consume fuel more economically. Motorists often use rear and front spoilers.

The choice depends on the driver's preference and expected result. It is necessary to pay attention to the material from which this part is made. Often, car enthusiasts install a decorative rear spoiler, which only helps to change the appearance, but does not affect the speed and other parameters of the car in any way.

Tuning VAZ 2114

To properly fix the spoiler, it is recommended to adhere to the following sequence of work:

• The length and width of the trunk are measured.
• Make marks with a marker in those places where there will be a fastening connection between the device and the car body.
• After drilling the holes, remove the chips and paint the edges to avoid rust in the future.
• Install the brackets into the hole and secure the fixture using nuts and bolts.
• If using a decorative option, it is perfectly acceptable to use an adhesive instead of drilling.

Welcome! A car spoiler - not all people like it, some people want to remove it and close the holes where it was attached with ordinary plugs, but some people really like this thing and when it becomes deformed, they go and immediately buy a new one, but just how to remove the old one and Not everyone knows how to install a new spoiler in its place, which is why we wrote this article in which we explained in detail the process of replacing this unit.

Note! In order to replace the spoiler with a new one, you will need to stock up on: A wrench of approximately “8” and approximately “10”, a screwdriver, and it is also recommended to stock up on gloves because the spoiler is still dirty and when removing it you can get your hands dirty on it, but if this is not important to you, then in this case you don’t have to use gloves!

What does a car look like with and without a spoiler? This question is asked by many car enthusiasts, because it is not clear how the fourteenth car will look, for example, without a spoiler or if a spoiler is installed on it. For a clear example, we took two different cars, but they are almost the same color and have an almost standard look, but only on one The car has a spoiler installed, but the other one does not, so it’s up to you to decide what will be best for your car!

Recommendations

Correct installation of a high-quality spoiler on a VAZ 2114 will help reduce vehicle air resistance and fuel consumption. If the fixation of the device is not done correctly, then this will not improve the performance of the car, but, on the contrary, will reduce its aerodynamics.

To prevent this from happening, you should familiarize yourself with the recommendations of experts on how to install a spoiler with your own hands:

• If there is no space for installing the device, then there is no need to drill the body. An adhesive sealant is quite suitable. A prerequisite is complete solidification of the substance within 3-4 days;
• to prevent rust, it is recommended to lubricate the joints between the device and the body with machine oil or wax;

Installing a spoiler on a VAZ 2114

• It is better to paint before installation. It is desirable that the color matches the main color of the car or contrasts;
• At the fastening points, if desired, use not a polypropylene seal, but an ordinary piece of vacuum rubber.

Drivers who have doubts about the final result turn to specialized salons, where experienced specialists will do this work quite quickly and efficiently.

Installing a spoiler on a VAZ 2114

After buying the car, it was painful to look at it without a spoiler. But in my opinion, a 14ka without a spoiler is a 9ka, hahaha)) For me, it looks more beautiful with a spoiler, and somehow it’s not so “naked.” On one of the cloudy and already cool autumn days, I went to the car market and found this miracle, in the color of the car, for 2000 rubles. There was a spoiler for 1,500 rubles, but it had to be painted, which would have been much more expensive)) I bought it in color and went joyfully to the garage. I thought for a long time about how to drill holes, I was afraid of messing up and didn’t want to go to the car market again, only for a new trunk lid, hahaha

To install the spoiler, you need to make 4 holes in the trunk lid, and one larger hole for the wires to the brake light. Before starting work, I covered the trunk lid with masking tape so as not to scratch it when applying the spoiler to the lid) I tried many ways to make holes evenly. I left prints with paint, and I glued plasticine to the trunk lid, and I left marks on it with pins , and measured with a ruler in millimeters on the sides, calculated... difficult. but after going through all these methods, I finally measured it out and yes, I made the long-awaited holes in the trunk lid. The main thing here is to measure correctly seven times, drill one) I started trying it on, and everything turned out 5+, after all, I’m not my mother’s handyman, hahaha)) Everyone says that you need to put rubber bands under the spoiler itself so that the spoiler doesn’t rub against the lid, so that moisture wouldn’t collect there and those places wouldn’t rust... but I couldn’t find any rubber bands, so I cut out pieces from the splint (sound insulation). It turned out not bad either) In the end, I installed everything, screwed it on, connected the brake light, and I just couldn’t be happier)) Happy travels to everyone!

How much does a spoiler cost for a VAZ 2114

The cost of a VAZ 2114 rear door spoiler in Russia varies from 500 to 2,800 rubles.

The spoiler, regardless of engine size or suspension settings, on a domestic car is an aerodynamic element of the body. The latter was also standardly installed by the AvtoVAZ plant in several variations. The main purpose of such a spoiler is visual styling and practical application when closing/opening the trunk lid. Its use is made possible thanks to a durable fastening system, which additionally has plugs that give a complete appearance.

It is worth noting that in the restyling of the VAZ 2114 it received a spoiler with similar weight and size characteristics, but with a built-in brake signal. This adds visibility to the car, since the brake light has moved precisely to the line of sight of the rear driver.

Considering that the new type of spoiler was first used in 2011, its compatibility with other LADA models is quite high, namely:

• VAZ 2109 1987-2011.
• VAZ 2108 1984-2003.
• VAZ 2114 2001-2013.
• VAZ 2113 2004-2013.

What is important to consider when repairing a spoiler

The service is temporarily unavailable!

A passenger car is made up of many parts, which are often subject to all sorts of breakdowns. During the operation of the car, dents, scratches and cracks of the main elements occur. This is especially true for the external elements of the machine. Repairing a plastic spoiler, which acts as an additional device on the trunk or rear door and is quite functional, requires the specific skills of a specialist.

Spoiler repair

Breakage (damage) of this important component, which serves to improve the dynamic properties of the car, as well as performing other positive functions in the car, may be insignificant. It happens that it is possible to restore the appearance of a spoiler, if the damage is minor, without removing it from the car. Although in some cases, for high-quality restoration, it is necessary to repair spoilers by removing them from the car. Types of repair work (complex and local) include:

• eliminating the defect;
• restoration of surface texture;
• Spoiler painting.

Types of spoilers

Thanks to the spoiler, your car looks stylish. This additional element radically changes its appearance, giving originality to the entire structure. But this is not the only function the engineers put into the small part. A spoiler is needed for greater stability of the entire structure and to ensure acceptable control, as it balances the load on the front and rear of the body.

It also changes the movement of air flow, eliminates damage to the car during a skid, and increases the efficiency of the braking process. By attaching the spoiler to the trunk or rear door, the car windows are protected from dirt and water. This element becomes especially important when the car reaches speeds of up to 80-90 kilometers per hour. The presence of a spoiler indicates that your car will confidently take all turns.

Spoilers are classified according to the chemical composition of the material from which they are made:

• metal (aluminium, steel, carbon) - today metal spoilers are very rare;
• fiberglass is the most popular material, which is based on synthetic resin; fiberglass spoilers are cheap, durable and easy to install;
• ABS plastic - its composition includes all kinds of impurities, spoilers made of ABS plastic are cheap, lightweight, but not durable (over the years this material becomes brittle and parts break);
• silicone and silicon-containing organic polymers - spoilers made from this material are durable and practical.
• carbon - this type of part is light, durable, but expensive, and its production technology is very labor-intensive.

We will offer you the repair of spoilers for VAZ 2114 and other cars, removing the damaged part from the car and leaving it in its original place. After all, these are the components that suffer most often in an accident.

Our employees thoroughly know the technical structure of all cars and are ready to provide you with high-quality car repair and restoration services.

What affects the cost of a product?

The first pricing characteristic is the type of spoiler. This could be a spoiler on both the rear window and the trunk lid. The average price difference between them is about 950 rubles: weight and size characteristics, materials, installation method, practical efficiency.

In addition to the type of product, the price is also affected by the following parameters:

1. Manufacturer.
2. Availability of a brake light (equipment with a lighting device adds at least 300 rubles to the retail price).
3. color.
4. Material (ABS plastic is used by default, but fiberglass models are also available).

But, most of all, painting affects the cost of a ready-to-use body element. Depending on the color, the added value can vary in the range of 400-800 rubles, which, in fact, forms the mentioned maximum price of 2,800 rubles.

Examples of prices for original and tuned spoilers

• Visor “Voron Glass” for the rear window of VAZ 2108, 2109, 2114 – 500 rub.
• Lip spoiler, unpainted – 590 RUR.
• Rear window deflector “M-Version” (2109-2114), tuning – 800 rub.
• Trade Auto, 21140-6301116-00 (PVC trunk spoiler without a lamp, for painting) – RUB 1,107.
• AvtoVAZ, rear door spoiler in Cosmos 665 color (under the canopy) – RUB 1,900.

In addition to products, the installation of which does not require changes to the design of the car, and also does not raise suspicion during a technical inspection, it is worth noting tuned spoilers at an affordable price. These include:

• Fast and Furious (on metal stands with four mounting points) – 2,200 rubles.
• V-Max (fiberglass in transport primer for grinding) – RUB 3,350.
• Rs-2 (fiberglass and polyester resin) – RUB 1,500.
• Impulse “AVR” (reinforced with mortgages, weight is 3.9 kg) – 2,100 rubles.
• Ferrari Ango 2114 (width at the mounting point 125 mm, extending beyond the standard holes) – RUB 2,740.

When installing tuned spoilers on the rear door of a VAZ 2114, a leak may occur in the trunk, which will negatively affect the operation of the rear lighting equipment.

Making a spoiler with your own hands

The automotive markets offer a huge number of spoilers for any vehicle. True, the wing for the VAZ 2114, which you are tuning, is unlikely to please you with its variety. Therefore, if you want to stand out from the crowd of identical cars, then make a spoiler yourself. Some car owners are experimenting with materials for making a spoiler, for example, using foam sealant. But usually such a wing is very expensive, since it is not always possible to calculate how many cans of sealant will be needed in a particular case. A more affordable option is polystyrene foam; you will need a sheet of material 5 cm thick and 1x1 m in area. You also need to buy epoxy glue in paper packaging, paint and varnish in cans. You will also need a grinding tool. Now we cut out the blade diagonally for the future spoiler. It is necessary to make fastenings; to do this, we cut out plates from sheet steel 1.5 mm thick. We make holes 3 mm wide in increments of 3 cm. Screw 2 nuts into the base. Now we glue the resulting structure to the existing workpiece.

Now you need to cover the spoiler blade with fabric in 2 layers; it is recommended to take unnecessary shirts under silk.
Apply glue with a brush and wrap fabric on top (up to 3 layers). Give time for the substance to polymerize. The finished wing needs to be glued, puttied and painted in the desired color. You will need about 3 cans of paint. If desired, you can arrange a place for a stop bar. Plexiglas is suitable for this. Some car enthusiasts, in addition to a spoiler, also install a lip on the front bumper. It is easier to manufacture than a wing. To make a lip, you need to remove the car bumper and turn it over. Build a blank of the required shape from polystyrene foam. Next, wrap it in plastic bags, nylon tights (or similar material) in several layers, coat everything with epoxy glue. When the upper material has dried, carefully remove the blank. Leave the workpiece to dry for several days. If you feel that the lip is not strong enough, you can glue a reinforcing mesh inside. After this, you can sand, prime and paint the part.

Where can I buy?

Any spoiler, both in rough and finished form in body color, can be purchased in a specialized online store. This will not only save money, but also familiarize yourself with detailed technical information and view real photos of the car after such external styling.

You can buy spoilers in color only if the car is garaged or has low mileage. Otherwise, the color difference will be very noticeable. In any other situation, you can purchase a spoiler for painting. Such original products have an excellent degree of preparation, so you can even work with aerosol paints in cans.

Removing the spoiler on the VAZ 2114

Today I’ll tell you about one problem with the Lada 2114. It’s a spoiler. More precisely, its fastenings. On new models 14, and in principle on older ones, the fastenings break over time, and it’s only a matter of time and the spoiler begins to rattle. This happened to me too, and I want to warn you against my mistake. TAKE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY, either straight away, or immediately after you broke it. When mine started to rattle, I waved my hand, saying I’ll do it later, and drove like this for half a year, in the end I rubbed the trunk down to bare metal, where rust had already started. Removing it is not a problem, remove the plastic trim inside the trunk, tighten the 4 nuts that hold the spoiler, disconnect the wire from the brake light and remove it. It’s not so visible in the photo, but it was a sad picture, for 1 time I bought plugs and sealed them with tape, but this is a temporary measure.

I had to do something, I couldn’t cope with it on my own, I turned to a friend at a service station, they promised to do a “marafet” for 4 thousand) I myself was looking for where to do it and the price tag was about 6 thousand so I agreed. On Saturday morning I gave the car away and late in the evening I saw her with such an ass)

Mmm

I’m completely satisfied with the result, by the way, the spoiler could have been repaired, they say they fill it with epoxy and fix the fasteners, but rationally judging that it could rub like that again, I refused to repair the spoiler and threw it in the garage. The mounts looked like this (empty hollow holes)

That’s the way it is guys, so my advice to you is to take it the fuck off, especially if it’s already broken. If you like its presence, then I advise you to look for a spoiler from the old 14 models, the fastenings there are much stronger, thanks for your attention!
