Spoilers are considered optional, not mandatory, decorations. Adding this part will not make the car more powerful. But drivers use such additions to show their attention to the vehicle. When driving, the spoiler on Vesta contributes to a more competent distribution of air flows. But more often they are installed just to change the look.
About original types of installations
The most popular installations are those that do not cause difficulties during installation. In most cases, double-sided tape is enough to secure it.
The original rear spoilers are distinguished by the support of the Lada car manufacturer itself. When choosing a luxury package, the buyer will see that the part is already installed. Thanks to this, the image of the vehicle becomes more complete.
In manufacturing, only high-strength materials are used.
There are several types of foundations:
- Fiberglass.
- Silicone.
- Metal.
- Carbon.
Original Lada Vesta spoilers
Spoilers are popular because they can be easily attached to the car body. There are models that are attached with adhesive tape on both sides.
Lada company offers customers an original rear spoiler from the official manufacturer. In vehicles with luxury equipment, the product is already installed. With a rear wing, for example, the design of the Lada vesta sw cross is transformed, creating a feeling of completeness of the image.
Spoilers for the Lada Vesta are made from high-strength materials.
The basis from which the parts are made:
- fiberglass;
It has high strength and reliability.
- silicone;
Advantages - durability, resistance to temperature conditions, flexibility.
- metal;
The main advantages are durability and strength. These spoilers have fixing features that not everyone can install.
— carbon;
It is easy to use and durable. The main disadvantage is the high price.
The gradation by type and fastening is as follows:
A small product that is secured with double-sided tape. Small size and low weight allow the use of this type of fixation. Such models do not significantly transform the car; useful functions are not clearly expressed. A simple installation method allows you to deal with this yourself.
More massive models that are mounted on a special base. Due to their size and heaviness, they are installed on a base that is bolted to the car body. Does not come into direct contact with the surface of the car. The spoiler modifies the Lada Vesta and any other car. In the future, the company plans to equip Lada sports cars with such models.
Depending on type and mounting
The smallest products are attached using double-sided tape, which was already mentioned earlier. This type of fixation becomes available due to its low weight. Useful functions are not very pronounced, but the external transformation of the machines is noticeable. A simple installation method can be easily mastered by the owner of a Vesta with a spoiler.
To attach more massive bases, special bases will be needed. The structure is attached to the car body using bolts. In this case, there is no direct contact with the surface of the vehicle.
Types of spoilers
Tuning enthusiasts divide rear spoilers into two types:
1.
Sticky spoilers (small), abbreviated as “linden.” Attached to the body using 2-sided adhesive tape or glue. Such a small accessory changes the appearance slightly.
2.
Spoilers on supports. In this case, the part does not lean entirely against the body, but is supported on supports that are secured with screws and nuts. Significantly change appearance.
In real:
3.
The spoiler can be installed not only on the trunk lid, but also on the upper part of the rear window or the edge of the roof. The fastening is similar, with double-sided tape, less often with bolts. Such accessories are often installed on a hatchback or station wagon body type.

Wings Lada Vesta Sport
The sports version of the car was presented to the general public not so long ago. A massive fiberglass wing was initially installed in such kits.
Such wings differ in some features from available analogues. Compared to the upper part, the lower part is made larger. Thanks to this design, the transition from high to low pressure is simplified. It is necessary to reduce the so-called “frontal resistance”. The opposite reinforcement effect is important when interacting with the road surface.
Artform
Lada Vesta owners can buy a spoiler not only from the official manufacturer, or in a network of virtual stores. The manufacturer “Artform” is considered a new product on the trading platform of spare parts for Lada cars. The peculiarity of its products is the high quality of materials used for manufacturing and prices. The cost of a rear wing for Vesta from Artform is 2000 – 3300 rubles.
Owners of Lada 2180 can of course transform their car with a wing. But remember: Yes, it’s beautiful, but it won’t add a hundred horses to the engine! It's just styling.
About the types of fixation
There are many factors that go into choosing a mount. Example:
- What size is the decorative spoiler?
- Manufacturing weight.
- Materials used.
Adhesive tape is clearly not suitable for massive and heavy structures. The body type and vehicle model also play an important role in resolving the issue.
If we are talking about station wagons, then mounting on the surface of the trunk becomes impossible. Such cars are often supplemented with plastic or silicone products. Fastening is carried out with double-sided adhesive tape. At the same time, the Lada Vesta spoiler holds tightly.
Manufacturers of spoilers for Lada Vesta - prices useful to know
Car owners can purchase a branded model of a wing. The price of such a spoiler for Vesta is approximately 4200 - 4500 rubles. Buyers should note that this is the cost of the unpainted part. Painting can be done at a service center or they can paint it themselves.
The official manufacturer has a large network of virtual stores where you can order a spoiler for the Lada Vesta with home delivery. The cost depends on the size of the product, color and material from which it is made. The cost in virtual stores is 1400 – 5500 rubles.
Holes
If the spoiler on the Lada Vesta is fixed using special bolts, then you cannot do without holes. The main thing is to be careful when working so that the surface is not damaged. The diameter of the screws and holes must match each other. It is better to contact a specialist to determine the most suitable place. When creating holes, drills are placed vertically in relation to the surface. The pressure is reduced by placing metal strips under the head. The edges require additional sealant treatment.
Is there any benefit from it?
Experts from Za Rulem magazine conducted an experiment and calculated whether a spoiler is useful or just a decoration.
How does a spoiler work?
At high speeds, lift occurs due to the difference in air flow rates above and below the body. Due to the pressure difference, the car begins to pull upward. The car's behavior becomes unstable, and in order to press the wheels more firmly to the road, racing cars are equipped with a huge rear wing. It creates downforce and improves traction, allowing you to corner at higher speeds than without the wing.
How much downforce can we squeeze out of a wing in everyday life?
The result looks like this:
- at a speed of 60 km/h the additional pressure on the front wheels is 1.8 kg, and on the rear wheels - 2.7 kg
- at a speed of 90 km/h the pressure on the front wheels increases by 4.1 kg, on the rear wheels by 6.1 kg
- at a speed of 120 km/h, 7.3 kg of pressure is added to the front wheels, and 10.9 kg to the rear wheels
- at a speed of 160 km/h there is an additional 16.4 kg of pressure on the front wheels, and 24.7 kg on the rear wheels
The average driver, when driving at permitted speeds, will not feel any difference in handling. You might as well secure a pair of dumbbells in the trunk.
Thus, the downforce at road-legal speeds is so low that the rear wing is completely meaningless.
