I have removed the 99 spec spoiler from my UK 1991 TT in preparation for the fitment of a new OEM series 1 spoiler. The 99 spec had the perspex strip fitted ...which was cracked ...and broke while removing it :angry:.... I had always thought is was the non brake light version...as it didn't light....however on removal I noticed it 'was' the brake light version...but not working as there is no brake light harness in the tailgate !! :confused1:

 

So...I'm assuming that a UK 1991 TT 'would' have had the centre brake light....so does anyone have a spare one for my nice new spoiler....and the harness to connect it!! ?

 

 

No brake light harness!

 

 

Spoiler fits like a glove though....as would be expected of an OEM part !....will need a bit of bodywork to repair the 99 spec mounting holes...and whole tailgate respray in Tri Coat EH7 Sahara Gold :scared:

 

 

 

....so I'm looking for a centre brake light assembly and the harness to make it work!

i recall my original uk spec zed did not have a centre brake light, so when i fitted one we had to extend the harness, so i dont believe yours would have had a centre light originally either Gary

Kerching!!!

 

 

Did I read somewhere that some Zeds came with a blanking insert, rather than a third brake light...?

Will be doing mine soon too. Cheers for posting.

yes, UK zeds came with a body coloured blanking insert.

 

Pete,

does the UK boot lid definitely have any of the brake light wiring in it?

I cannot recall exactly, but i thought i had to run wires up from the normal brake lights into the lid, as that part of the loom was completely missing.

I remember breaking one car that had a grey plastic blank so that was probably the UK manual i broke a LONG time ago.

I dont remember whether it had any wiring inside.

The brake light I posted pics of came from a JDM car.

Best I can remember.

Pete...you have a PM :thumbup:

UK specs had a dummy insert which was exactly like the real thing except it had a solid body coloured lense.

Well done Gary! Will look perfect when all painted up. You will need to provide a switched live feed from one of the rear brake lights

and an earth connection. I used the wiper motor earthing point in the tail gate.

 

You up to speed on fixing/bonding the spoiler to the tail gate?

Andrew...Currently talking to Kraftwork about getting them to install and paint :yes:

Excellent! The "wings" need to be very precisely positioned before the bonding agent goes off.

Awesome Gary!!

No brake light on my spoiler mate, just the painted blank.

Get a brake light in there, looks loads better!

I thought EH7 was pearlglow yellow not Sahara gold .

Yup - all dead right.....

 

....UK spec cars had the aforementioned blanking insert - and no wiring harness for a third brake light.

 

I remember having to wire in the third brake light on my red Zed from scratch - hence could not be bothered to do it again on the blue one!!

Nice work Gary thats going to be one of our great club UK Z's

Nice, glad if fits well

 

Didn't know uk cars had a painted section instead, I've a couple of lights laying around if you need one to paint.

Lovely job [emoji106]

Original series 1 spoiler is sooooo nice. :)

Absolutely, the OEM fit and finish is spot on (thanks again Ash). I wonder how many more are available before really being NLA.
