To improve the aerodynamic performance and appearance of the car, and save fuel, special devices are used - spoilers. There are, of course, car enthusiasts who are indifferent to them. However, many car owners are interested in the question of how to install a spoiler on a 2114, because it was not included in the package, and for some it needs to be repaired or reinstalled.
Spoiler for VAZ 2114
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.
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 to properly install a spoiler on a VAZ 2114? What secrets will help you do this yourself?
Rear spoiler for VAZ 2114
Withdrawal procedure
- Remove the trunk door trim.
- Disconnect the wires of the additional brake light.
It is possible that on cars of early years of production you will have to unscrew the nut securing the ground wire of the additional brake signal from the stud securing the trunk door lock.
3. Using a 10mm socket wrench, tighten the 2 spoiler mounting nuts on the right.
4. We also unscrew the 2 nuts on the left.
5. Remove the spoiler from the car.
On cars of early years of production, the spoiler was attached differently. On them, in the door cavity there were only 2 fastening nuts. From the sides, the spoiler was held on the trunk door using 2 pressure plates. Therefore, to remove the spoiler, you first need to unscrew the plates and then the 2 nuts in the door cavity.
6. Install the spoiler on the car in the reverse order.
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.
Interior improvement
Changes in the interior of the VAZ 2114 are no less varied than improvements in the appearance of the car. Here everything is subject to tuning: from the rear-view mirror and gear knob to sound insulation and the steering wheel.
The simplest tuning performed at home or in the garage are:
- installing an armrest;
- replacing the rear view mirror;
- installation of attachments for mobile phones;
- decorations.
Do-it-yourself comprehensive tuning of the VAZ 2115 interior requires time and money. Everything is removed from the interior: from the seats to the instrument panel. After this, the surfaces are glued with vibration-proof sheets. This ensures silence in the cabin.
The next stage is the trim of the doors and the entire interior. You can cover the inside of the car with anything: from fabric and leatherette to leather-suede. After the trim, the audio system and instrument panel are installed. The dashboard can be either regular or replaced with a more pleasant-looking panel.
After the instrumentation, seats are placed in the cabin. Any suitable size can be installed.
As part of tuning, you can install a sports steering wheel on your car, but such changes may raise questions among traffic police officers.
As an additional improvement to the visual component of the VAZ 2115 car, you can use LED lighting for the underbody, trunk and interior.
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.
Chassis
Improving the chassis of a car will not change its appearance in any way, but will significantly improve its dynamic properties and behavior on the road. It is divided into 2 types:
The first improves the driving characteristics of the car, allowing it to move quickly along city streets, the second reduces fuel consumption. The main systems subject to tuning are the engine and chassis.
Suspension
Tuning the VAZ 2114 suspension includes both calibration of the entire system, wheel alignment of the car, and modernization of individual parts:
- replacing springs;
- shock absorber tuning;
- installation of anti-roll bar.
These details will increase driving comfort and also improve the car’s behavior on the road: the car will rock less and will not roll during sharp turns.
Engine
Tuning a VAZ 2113, 2114 or 2115 engine is a rather complicated, but feasible undertaking. To slightly increase the power of the machine you need:
- reflashing the control unit;
- increasing the cylinder diameter by boring.
To achieve a more significant effect, it is necessary to change the cylinder block that distributes the gas. Taken together, these changes are considered safe; they will help increase engine power by up to a third.
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:
- Manufacturer.
- Availability of a brake light (equipment with a lighting device adds at least 300 rubles to the retail price).
- color.
- 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 part 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 top 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.
Features of this tuning
The brake light in the spoiler has a number of advantages:
It's stylish, that's why they buy spoilers
Without a spoiler, the VAZ looks like a simple classic car, even a kind of retro, but with a spoiler it looks quite original. The spoiler best conveys the stop signal, and you can come up with any animation that attracts attention, but you need to be careful with this. The spoiler has a low price, and almost every driver can install it independently. The spoiler is installed once for many years, so it is beautiful and profitable. The brake light on the spoiler is more visible, so even from a road safety standpoint, the spoiler wins.
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!
