For many car enthusiasts, installing a spoiler is not only an opportunity to make your car stand out in the traffic. The spoiler for the Grant, as you know, increases the aerodynamics and downforce of the car by changing the direction of the air flow. It is installed in the Lada Granta (sedan) on the trunk. There are both sports and simple models on the market for this car model.

The main characteristic of this element is its streamlined and regular shape, which ensures the necessary distribution of air flow.

Removal and installation process

The lip spoiler is fixed to the surface of the trunk using adhesives, since their use does not require drilling holes in the body. If you are installing lip tuning, you will need the following tools for work:

• a gun with glue-sealant (it is recommended to use polyurethane-based substances);
• masking tape for fixing the product on the Lada body;
• stationery knife (another sharp object for making notches);
• spoiler.

To begin, attach the lip tuning element to the rear of the Granta body. You should practice fixing it in such a way as to eliminate any possible gaps. In the place where the linden product is glued, apply shallow notches with a knife. Apply adhesive sealant in their place with a gun. When applying, adjust the pressure under which the glue is applied, since too much of it will increase your working time (you will have to remove excess from the body), and too little of it will not fix the product.

After applying sealed glue, apply the lip tuning to the car body. Apply masking tape perpendicularly and leave it for a day.

Materials and tools for installing the spoiler

If you are attaching the product with screws (usually they are built into the spoiler), you will need:

• screwdriver;
• drill;
• metal drill;
• wires (if the tuning model has brake lights).

Installation involves drilling 4 holes in the body (2 holes will be located closer to the center, 2 closer to the edges of the body) using a metal drill with attachments to fit the size of the fasteners.

Then the product is placed on the body, and the screws are screwed into the holes. Try to install the rear tuning of the Lada as evenly as possible, drilling holes at a certain angle (depending on the model), because if it fails, you will have to drill new holes.

Lip spoiler Lada Granta sedan

The lip spoiler gained its popularity due to its low price and ease of installation. Despite its small size, it elegantly emphasizes the exterior features. This type of lip spoiler is standardly installed by AVTOVAZ on the trunk lid of the Lada Granta Sport.

By the way, the spoiler from the sports version can be ordered from an official dealer, or you can buy a similar accessory in online stores. We adjust the size of the spoiler linden to suit your taste.

For lovers of more massive body elements.

The installation process will not take much time, but requires following the sequence and rules:

1. carry out work in a warm room.
2. Before installation, the surface should be degreased (any degreaser will do).
3. It is recommended to use an adhesion promoter (primer).
4. stick double-sided tape around the perimeter of the spoiler.
5. Align the spoiler on the trunk lid.
6. remove the protective layer from the tape and press the spoiler.
7. Make sure there are no gaps between the trim and the body.

An alternative to tape can be Abro 1200 sealant. In this case, you will also need masking tape to secure the spoiler while the sealant dries.

Spoiler installation process

The process of installing a spoiler can be divided into two options, this is the process of hard attachment and soft. The rigid mount should be taken seriously; it is based on drilling the surface of the trunk lid. The soft method involves installation without drilling using adhesive tape.

Let's imagine that you chose a spoiler and bought a bolt-on type of fastener. To drill holes we will need a drill, a sharp drill bit, sandpaper and an anti-corrosion treatment. The first thing we do is try on our spoiler and decide on the mounting location. It is worth considering that there will be no room for error, you need to do everything carefully and the first time. Measure seven times, drill once, that’s exactly what you should do.

After making the holes, it’s worth just a little cleaning of the fresh metal (the place of fastening, or rather the holes) and treating it with an anti-corrosion agent. Because if water gets in, these places can develop rust over time. Next, we install the spoiler into the holes and firmly fasten it on the inside of the trunk lid.

If you bought a spoiler with soft fasteners, then for this we will need a degreaser, clean wipes and one assistant for smooth installation. Before you begin installation, make sure there is double-sided adhesive tape in the kit or on the spoiler. If not, then it is better to buy such tape from the manufacturer 3M.

The first thing is trying on, you should try on the spoiler and make marks where the beginning will be and where the end point will be. If there is no tape glued to the spoiler, then use a degreaser and wipes to wipe clean the area where the tape will be glued.

Next, we glue the tape; under no circumstances should you touch the grease-free area on the spoiler or the adhesive surface of the tape with your hands, this will reduce the adhesiveness of the surfaces. Now degrease and wipe the surface of the trunk lid. You should also not handle or touch it after the cleaning procedure.

With the help of a partner and slightly peeling off the protective part of the adhesive tape, we put the spoiler in place. Now calmly and slowly pull back the protective surface of the tape, thereby gluing the spoiler to the surface. Next, you should press the spoiler well and hold it for a couple of minutes. This completes the installation.

Depending on how you choose the right place and install it, the beauty and evenness of the part will depend.

A detail that will harmoniously fit into the exterior of your car and successfully complement the usual style is a spoiler. As a rule, it is installed on the rear bumper or roof of the car. Thanks to the special shape, the part creates additional clamping force. As a result, the car feels better during fast driving and cornering. Our assortment includes various options for spoilers of any size and design. You can choose a tuning element depending on the model and make of the car.

Do-it-yourself Lada Granta liftback tuning

Although the Lada Granta in a liftback body is a modern car, which is offered in a large number of trim levels, many owners still try to change and modify something in it, making the car different from the standard. Various tuning options allow you to make changes both to the car as a whole and to its individual systems and components. It’s worth looking at such improvements in more detail.

Engine

Almost every owner would like to drive a more powerful and dynamic car. The weakest version of the Lada-Grant, the liftback, develops only 87 hp, and the most powerful engine version has a power of 106 hp, which is also unable to provide decent dynamics to the car. You can make the power unit more playful without serious intervention in the design of the unit in the following way:

1. Installing a zero resistance air filter. For these purposes, a “nulevik” filter is used, through which more air can be supplied to the cylinders. Thus, it will be possible to slightly increase the power of the unit.

In addition to the listed engine upgrade options, you can install an electronic gas pedal. This element will ensure the most accurate response of the power unit to pedal pressure. New versions of such elements have an additional module that allows the driver to select the desired driving mode.

With a more serious approach to modernizing the Lada-Grant engine in the liftback body, you can install a turbocharger, forged pistons and bore the cylinders. If you listen to the recommendations of experts, then such modifications must be carried out comprehensively, since equipping the car with only a turbine can lead to damage to the pistons as a result of the increased load. Also, if you install only forged elements, then there will be no increase in power.

Chassis

In addition to engine modifications, the vehicle's chassis (suspensions, levers, etc.) can also be modernized. The model in question has a soft suspension designed for driving on good roads. Any changes to the suspension can make it stiffer, which will have a positive effect on handling, but at the same time reduce comfort. Changes can be made to the rear suspension by reducing the number of spring coils by exactly one. To give the body rigidity when cornering, you can install strut extensions on the front end, the same as on the Kalina.

To lower the Granta liftback suspension, you can choose one of the following methods:

• replacing the suspension with a design with variable ground clearance. In this way, the shock absorbers are given autonomous rigidity. In summer, the car can be lowered and raised in winter;
• Replacing the standard suspension with a new one with a lower landing. In this case, an appropriate set of springs and shock absorbers is selected;
• installation of low profile tires. This option allows you to reduce the seating position and improve vehicle handling;
• equipping a car with lowered springs without replacing shock-absorbing elements. This option will only be suitable for city driving.

In addition to the above modifications, you can make the following changes to the suspension:

• install triangular levers, which will increase the rigidity of the unit, ensure the base is raised up to 3 cm and make it possible to adjust the caster in the range from 1 to 4° in negative values;
• install a subframe. The element will add rigidity to the body, the suspension will receive more powerful mounts, the engine will have additional protection, the wheelbase will increase by 15 mm, and the likelihood of the front end diving during braking will be reduced;

If we consider changes to the brake system, the simplest tuning option is to replace the standard brake discs with larger ones. In this case, when installing R14 wheels instead of standard R13, no modifications will be required.

Foreign-made brake pads can be installed together with the discs. Discs on the Lada-Granta liftback can be installed, for example, by Brembo (article: 09.8903.75), and pads - by Fiat (article: 13.0460–2813.2).

Appearance

Exterior tuning is quite diverse and depends only on the imagination and financial capabilities of the car owner. To change the appearance, you can install or replace the following elements:

• roof rails These products are to some extent capable of correcting some errors in the control system. They differ in both weight and degree of aerodynamics. Installing such elements gives the car an individual character;

Wing

One of the important elements of the aerodynamic body kit is the wing. Externally, this part resembles an inverted airplane wing, and its main task is to press the car to the road surface

To do this, it is very important to choose the correct size of the wing - it should not be too large, but not small, and also not located very close to the body. Failure to comply with these nuances leads to the fact that the wings will either be completely useless or will function as car spoilers

When installing wings on a car, you need to know about the disadvantages. First of all, this increases the load on the wheels. In addition, at very high speeds additional aerodynamic drag is created.

Modern roof rack

Today, a roof rack for a car is not only a convenient and necessary thing, but also serves a decorative function.

Some car owners install it simply to improve the exterior of their car. We are not talking about the classic basket-shaped trunk made of welded steel rods, but about roof rails. These are two longitudinal rails installed on both sides of the car roof along the body.

There is another type of trunk - transverse arches, but it looks less attractive and, in addition, creates additional resistance to oncoming air flow while moving.

The same cannot be said about the roof rails. Without an attached load, they do not in any way violate the aerodynamic properties of the car.

Price

Roof rails for Lada Grants are produced by two domestic enterprises: Petroil Tuning and APS. They are made from a durable aluminum profile (hollow inside), coated either with a protective and decorative polymer, or with an anodic oxide film and fade-resistant ABS plastic. For different modifications of Grants, roof rails of various sizes, configurations and costs are provided.

The kit for installing roof rails on the Lada Granta includes:

• left railing;
• right railing;
• gaskets (6 pcs);
• M6x12 screws (6 pcs);
• hex key (4 mm);
• protectors;
• tread edging.

Protectors are designed to protect the car's paintwork from damage that can be caused by the brackets when transporting goods. In addition, they perform the function of sound insulation, eliminating any rattling or squeaking in the area where the roof rails are attached.

Wing

The most important element of a car's aerodynamic body kit is the wing. In its design, it is very similar to an airplane wing, only it is inverted. Another difference is that this element does not lift the car into the air, but, on the contrary, presses it to the road surface. The higher the speed and the larger the wing area, the stronger this effect.

A properly installed wing affects aerodynamic performance by fifty percent when compared with other elements. To ensure good handling of the car, it must have the appropriate dimensions - not too small, but not too large. In addition, it cannot be located too close to the body. Otherwise, the wing will either serve as an ordinary spoiler or will be completely useless.

Disadvantages of wings

This element has a significant drawback. If you drive at high speed, the load on the wheels will increase. Accordingly, mechanical losses for their rolling will increase. Moreover, the wing can create additional aerodynamic drag, which will only increase with increasing speed.

Let’s say once again that it is very important to choose the right shape of the element and install it correctly. Otherwise, the wing will slow down the car.

This, in turn, will lead to excessive fuel consumption.

Spoiler price

As already mentioned, the cost of a spoiler largely depends on the material from which it is made. For example, a regular plastic spoiler will cost from 4,000 rubles for a 2000 Audi A4. For a BMW X5 (E70), a spoiler made of ABS plastic will cost from 6,000 rubles. Popular manufacturers include Remin, Pure, JKS, Dawn, tSi.

If you cannot decide to install it yourself, then you can always contact specialists at special service stations. The average cost of installation will depend on the complexity of attaching the spoiler; the one with adhesive tape will cost less. Installation will cost about 20 euros, but with bolts it will cost from 30 euros. The average installation time on adhesive tape is from 30 to 60 minutes, on bolts from 60 to 120 minutes.

As a conclusion, before purchasing, you should decide on the method of mounting the spoiler, then the material from which it will be made, and the amount you are willing to pay for the pleasure.

This element (or a set of elements) is designed to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

Subtleties of technical parameters and design features

The design, which consists of a pair of transverse arches mounted on a smooth roof surface using fastening devices, can help you, if necessary, transport large loads. Now there is no need to worry that when going out into nature, you will not be able to take on the road all the useful things intended for these purposes. You can purchase a roof rack, or, in other words, roof rails, and install them on your LADA Granta, which will solve the problem.

If you have already decided to purchase the accessories listed here and headed to the store, then you should be puzzled by the criteria for the right choice, since retail chains offer a wide range of these products. What should you consider before making a purchase, so that you don’t have to regret wasted money in the future? Undoubtedly, one of the important parameters of the accessory is its load-bearing capacity. Some designs can carry loads weighing up to 100 kg, provided they are positioned correctly to evenly distribute the load.

Care is required here. The cheapest versions are suitable for decorative purposes. If you still need to transport heavy luggage on a Lada Granta in a liftback body, then you should be inclined to purchase an expensive accessory.

The arc length indicator becomes a significant factor

When choosing a trunk, you should pay attention to the type of arch and the material from which it is made.

A less significant parameter for selection is the color shade of the trunk body.

The most economical and rational option is the installation of transverse arches. They can be easily found in the appropriate store. This fact will force the owner to transport cargo that is smaller in weight and overall dimensions, but will allow him to save a decent amount. After transporting the cargo, it is better to dismantle this structure, since it is a source of additional noise when moving. As a result of performing these simple measures, your Lada Granta in a liftback body can turn into a vehicle with greater capacity.

Preparatory process

1. The first step will be to mark future holes on the body panels of the Lada Grant.
2. Then, after repeatedly checking the correctness of the markings, we drill from the inside until the drill engages with the supporting surfaces of the wing. We select a thin drill.
3. After performing these manipulations, we begin to thoroughly clean the perimeter of the holes from any remaining chips. For this purpose, we resort to using a drill with a large diameter. Having completed polishing the entire list of holes using the specified method, we must paint them over.

Classification

Depending on what exactly the owner wants to achieve by introducing this structural element into the design, spoilers can be divided.

By design they are:

1. Custom. Manufactured according to individual customer design. This is an expensive, unique item that is not found anywhere else.
2. Factory ones. They are produced at the factory, produced in large quantities and have the appearance of a factory structural element.

By mounting method:

1. Supporting. They are fastened using special supports, which are often simple self-tapping screws or bolts. Despite the roughness, this is a fairly reliable fastener.
2. Sticky. You can guess the mounting method already from the name. Such spoilers are attached using double-sided tape or glue. The reliability of such fastening does not inspire confidence. There were cases when such elements simply flew off cars at high speed.

At installation location:

1. Rear. They are usually installed on trunks or below the rear window.
2. For the roof. Most often installed on hatchbacks, rear doors.
3. Skirts for rear and front bumpers.
4. Diffusers. They are impossible to notice because they are installed under the underbody.
5. Side spoilers, which are linings on the threshold of a car.

By application:

1. Universal - can be installed on many machines.
2. Special - installed only on a specific model at the factory.

Recommendations for selection

There is no specific classification of spoilers intended for cars. Manufacturers offer all kinds of designs that allow you to install them on your vehicle. But in fact, the following types can be distinguished:

• Designed to make real changes in vehicle performance. These are spoilers and wings that allow you to achieve better downforce, reduce turbulence, reduce wind resistance and have a positive effect on the aerodynamic parameters of the vehicle. Since similar designs are installed on sports and powerful cars, and they only show their capabilities at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour, most motorists do not need them. But for certain cases and high-speed cars, a good spoiler will not hurt;
• Decorative. This is the most common type of spoiler for cars that are used purely as an element of external tuning. They do not affect aerodynamics in any way and are used as decoration. But with the right choice, you can achieve an excellent effect, since the car looks more interesting, more original and more aggressive.

Having decided which spoiler you need, you can go through the main selection criteria. Experts and experienced motorists give some tips and recommendations in this regard.

Material

The first thing you should pay attention to is the material from which the structure is made. Most of them are made based on plastic and polymer compounds

Adequate price, decent capabilities and ease of installation play in favor of plastic. If financial possibilities allow, it is worth taking a closer look at carbon fiber. Higher quality, better strength and reliability. But the price is appropriate. ABS plastic is considered optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. But it is better to avoid fiberglass, since the cheapest spoilers are mainly made from it. Affordable budget. If you decide to invest money in tuning, then in the case of spoilers it is not recommended to save much. It is not necessary to buy the most expensive models for your inexpensive car. Look for a middle ground so that the purchase does not hit your pocket too hard, but at the same time the low price does not manifest itself in the form of poor quality and fragility of the design. Matching the car. Spoilers can be classified according to whether they are universal or designed for a specific model of a certain brand of car. There are a number of cars that are in demand among tuning fans. And unique model spoilers and other aerodynamic elements are created specifically for them. There are also universal models. In theory, they fit all cars, but in practice it is better to make sure that they match the size of the car and the possibility of installation on the body. Model ones are usually more expensive, but their purchase is completely justified. Color. Some people choose a spoiler by eye, without really paying attention to what color the car itself is. Because of this, an unpleasant visual contrast arises when the tone of the wing differs from the color of the body. It is better to find out in advance the exact color of your body, which can be found in service books or on manufacturers’ websites, as well as by VIN code. Based on this, it will be more correct and easier to decide on the color palette of the spoiler itself. Mounting method. There are two main options for installing an aerodynamic element on a car. This is worth talking about separately.

These are the main points that are really important to pay attention to when choosing an aerodynamic element for your vehicle. This is not to say that a spoiler is an obligatory and necessary element. Aerodynamics are thought through at the design stage of the car model, the body undergoes various tests

The spoiler allows you to only slightly change the behavior of the car at high speeds, as well as change the external perception of the car

Aerodynamics are thought through at the design stage of the car model, and the body undergoes various tests. A spoiler allows you to only slightly change the behavior of the car at high speeds, as well as change the external perception of the car.

Manufacturing materials

There are several materials for making tuning elements for the trunk, which determine the price of the product:

• fiberglass. It is a plastic material made from resins of synthetic origin and reinforced with fiberglass. The costs of producing fiberglass (another name for fiberglass) are low, but fiberglass products still occupy a small niche on the market. The material is strong and easy to process;
• ABS plastic. The most popular material used to make tuning for Lada (sedan). Molded from plastic with added impurities, which provides flexibility to the brittle plastic. It is inexpensive, but may become more fragile over time;
• silicones (polymers). They are very plastic and contain silicon. They have high thermal performance and a long service life;

• carbon fiber. It is an analogue of fiberglass and is rarely found on the Lada Granta due to its high cost;
• aluminum, steel. They are usually used to make the “blade” of the product.

Spoiler

The term “spoiler” refers not only to an element of a car’s body kit. This name is also used for devices that allow you to change the dynamics of the aircraft. However, the principle of their operation is completely opposite.

It is worth noting that a spoiler should be installed on a car only for those motorists who are used to driving at high speeds. In this case, the body kit element will make the ride safer. In other situations, there is no point in installing it - except as a decoration, imitating sports cars. The element works effectively only when driving at a speed of more than ninety kilometers per hour.

Spoiler functions

The main purpose of this body kit element is to change the direction of the air flow that “runs” onto the car. This makes it possible to improve handling and reduce fuel consumption. In addition, the spoiler can significantly reduce dirt on the rear window of the car.

This may seem strange to some, but it is most effective to use a spoiler on trucks. By covering the part of the van above the driver's cabin with a fairing, fuel consumption can be reduced by a quarter. The installation of such elements is carried out in accordance with the needs of the motorist - depending on the desired effect.

Spoiler installation

Aerodynamic body kit elements can be installed:

• on the front part of the car (addition to the bumper) to increase downforce when driving and improve the handling of a front-wheel drive car;
• side parts in the threshold area to increase the overall degree of resistance to the oncoming air flow and to dilute it under the bottom of the car (this allows the car to press harder against the road surface and be better controlled);
• the place where the car roof transitions into the fifth door (on hatchback and station wagon) to reduce contamination of the rear windows;
• trunk of a rear-wheel drive car to improve handling characteristics.

It is better to entrust the direct installation of the spoiler to professionals. The element is attached using screws, self-tapping screws or double-sided tape - it depends on the location of its installation. The main task of the master is to install the spoiler at a certain angle to the axis of the car. It is necessary to mount the device as securely as possible, since neighboring cars can damage or tear it off when driving.

Even the best spoiler, if installed incorrectly, can cause a traffic accident. The lifting force of the vehicle may be reduced. In addition, if you overload one axle and unload the other, this will significantly reduce the controllability of the machine at low speeds.

Front spoiler

Separately, mention should be made of such an element of the aerodynamic body kit as the front spoiler. It is mounted under the front bumper and performs the function of “raising” the air (directing the flow upward). In some cases, spoilers are designed to direct air toward the radiator and brake rotors. The machine, reducing the pressure, literally “sucks” air flows into the ventilation holes. Motorists call this effect “sucking to the road.” Due to it, it becomes possible to drive the car better.

However, this effect has a significant drawback. If the car is thrown up a little, it may lose control. The racers gave their name to this negative aspect - Ground-effect.

Roof spoiler

A spoiler installed on the roof of a car performs the function of “breaking” air flows. This prevents the formation of turbulence behind the machine by smoothly closing the air passage. Reducing these turbulences, in turn, reduces the vehicle's drag.

This spoiler can be adjustable. For this purpose it is equipped with a special handle. Similar elements are usually used for trucks. Thanks to the handle, the driver is able to select the height of the element in accordance with the height of the trailer, even if the latter is only used for one trip.

Rear bumper spoiler

The bumper spoiler is a small, but noteworthy element of the aerodynamic body kit. There is no point in using it separately. However, in combination with other parts, it can have a significant effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

This part of the body kit is installed on the rear bumper area and allows you to combat the lifting force acting on the car. By “pressing” the car to the road, its handling improves. In addition, the rear bumper spoiler looks beautiful, so it is used as decoration.

Installation

Even a liftback spoiler purchased for a considerable sum can cause an accident if it is installed incorrectly. To ensure correct installation, you will need to acquire a high-quality sealant, which is supposed to be applied directly to the adjacent surface of the spoiler and to the LADA Granta. You cannot overdo it here, since excess sealing substance will penetrate beyond the perimeter of the contacting areas of the body and wing, which will immediately worsen the appearance of the car. Now we fix the product using self-tapping screws, tightening them all the way.

There are modifications of the wings that do not require drilling into the LADA Granta body. Among these options you can find the product “Courage”. The said component is secured by gluing it to the luggage compartment lid using a similar sealant. Before the installation procedure, we carefully treat the mating surfaces with a degreasing compound. You can use the car only after the adhesive has completely dried.

Remember that this option is the cheapest. Those wishing to purchase a spoiler for a sedan that matches the sporty image of the tuned model will need to contact an official dealer. Installation on LADA Granta involves the use of double-sided tape, so care and attention during the installation procedure are the main conditions for success. Good luck!

Spoiler selection

Let's move on to choosing a spoiler for a car. Nowadays, many spoilers are produced for a specific make and model of car, although there are also universal ones that are suitable for any car, the only difference between them is in which body it will be attached. If the universal spoiler is intended for sedans, then it will not work for hatchbacks. You should also consider the car itself. If this is an executive car with a pretentious appearance, then a spoiler will obviously not suit it and will only spoil the appearance of the car.

Next, you should see whether the chosen spoiler will spoil the appearance of the car. You can simply take the one you like, attach it to the car and evaluate whether it is suitable. You can also use the program for selecting and modeling the appearance of a car with an installed spoiler. Tuning studios usually have such a program.

Then you need to decide on the mounting location. If the spoiler is intended for a specific model, then deciding on such a place will not be difficult. With universal spoilers, choosing an installation location is a little more difficult, since you will need to accurately measure the mounting location so that the spoiler is not installed crookedly or offset to one side.

It is advisable to choose a spoiler that has not yet received a coat of paint. This will allow you to choose a color that fully matches the color of the car yourself or with the help of specialists and paint it.

It is also important to decide on the fastening method. Attaching with glue and tape is much easier and does not require much effort.

This mount is well suited if the spoiler is subsequently dismantled. Fastening with self-tapping screws is more reliable, but you will have to make holes in the body, so it will not be possible to dismantle such a spoiler without consequences.

Preparing for work

First of all, you will need to mark the places on the car that will need to be drilled in the future. After you have checked all the marks several times, using a thin drill, you need to make holes on the inside so that each of them catches the spoiler. It is necessary to take into account that all holes will need to be made in factory sealant.

After you finish with the previous work, we begin to clean the Lada Granta car from the chips that have formed on the edges of the holes. For this job you will need to use a much larger drill bit. When you thoroughly polish all the holes, they will need to be painted over.

Where's the spoiler protection? On VKontakte

“Avengers: Endgame” and “Game of Thrones” are the most anticipated films of spring 2022. The film will be released in Russia on April 29, and episodes of the series will be released until May 19. In the end, so many spoilers appeared on social networks that users decided it was time to leave the Internet. But there are other ways out.

VKontakte administrators were the first to react to the spread of numerous spoilers on the Internet. On the day of the premiere of the last season of Game of Thrones, April 15, the social network launched an algorithm that began marking with special warnings all posts that may contain details about the plot of the series, Izvestia reports.

The program calculates potentially harmful entries and adds a special “Possible Spoilers” checkbox to them. However, the bulk of the text in such publications is hidden, and to read the entire post, users need to click on the “Show Full” button.

The very next day, April 16, VKontakte installed similar protection for posts about the film “Avengers: Endgame.” In their message to users, the administrators explained that they decided to hurry up after key scenes of the film with mega spoilers leaked online.

Although the VKontakte press service published screenshots with examples of the algorithm’s operation, the specifics of the program’s operation remain in question. If you find the same posts using the social media search feature, you won't see any warnings.

It is worth noting that representatives of the social network did not release additional explanations about the work (or non-work) of the service. Therefore, remember to be vigilant when reading publications.

Are you from Facebook? You're finished (almost)

Many journalists and users advise those who want to avoid spoilers to delete their Facebook page. The social network does not offer the same protection from news about films and TV series as Twitter or VKontakte, and the Spoiler Protection extension may simply scare people with an abundance of blood red.

If you use Facebook and are an Avengers fan, today is your day. Malaysian developer Hay Yong shared the program he created at the request of his friends, The Star says. The application is called NO SPOILERS, it is designed for Facebook and works in Chrome and Yandex browsers.

How does NO SPOILERS work? The extension gently covers with a filter posts that contain the words “Avengers”, “Engame” and even “Avengers”. The time of publication of the post does not matter, and this is verified on Medialeaks publications.

You can download NO SPOILERS here, and don't despair if you prefer the Avengers series. In a conversation with reporters, Hay Yon promised that in the near future he will make a similar expansion for Game of Thrones fans.

Not only technical devices help protect against spoilers, but also the inventions of designer Matt Menedetto from the USA. The artist creates strange things that can make our lives much easier, and the “anti-spoiler” is the most popular of them.

If you don’t avoid news about films and TV series and love using them to ruin the lives of other fans, the spoiler distribution service Spoiled.io is at your service. The program works in such a way that neither friends nor enemies can escape from your harmful messages.
