It is popular among drivers of domestic and foreign cars to install spoilers. They perform several functions:

• by changing the direction of movement of air masses, they ensure reliable clamping of the car’s wheels when driving at high speed or turning;
• are the subject of car decoration.

As for the Lada, spoilers are often installed on domestically produced car models such as hatchback, station wagon or sedan to give the car a sporty design style.

On the Lada Kalina (hatchback), the products are installed on the upper part of the luggage compartment lid, which improves aerodynamics.

When working, you may need the help of one person.

A set of tools for installing a spoiler.
Features of attaching a spoiler include the need to drill 4 holes for “Kalina 2” (hatchback). Due to the fact that the roof of the model has a semicircular shape, the screws must be located at an angle. It is not possible to apply the product to the roof of a car due to the sale of models with built-in screws. For this reason, the work requires care and high precision when drilling holes in order to position the tuning element as evenly as possible.

Chassis

Tuning the chassis comes down to strengthening the suspension design. Here's what you do for this:

• The steering column is equipped with additional fasteners;
• The standard shock absorber struts are replaced with sports ones. As a rule, sets of gas shock absorbers from the domestic company PLAZA are used (Models “Dakar”, “Sport”, “Extreme”, “Profi”). The reason is simple: they have an affordable price, and you can buy them in almost any spare parts store;

Installation process

The algorithm for performing work on installing products is as follows:

• Apply paper tape to the place where you drill the holes for installation. It is designed to prevent scratching of the paintwork on the door during fitting. You can also mark the drilling locations on it.
• Unscrew all the studs from the spoiler. Attach it to the edge of the trunk with the central fasteners (they are not removable). It is important to install the part at the boundary between the trunk door and the roof. Do not block the gap between the door and the roof, otherwise the installed product will touch the roof paintwork. Leave equal small gaps on the right and left.

• After fitting, remove the tuning element from the Lada Kalina and start drilling 2 holes in the center. After this, drill them out with a large drill to the size of the studs installed on the part. To prevent the drill from jumping off during operation, make indentations with a nail. Keep in mind that there are 3 layers of metal under the central studs, so when drilling after some time, check that the studs are placed correctly. After drilling through all the metal layers of the Kalina (hatchback), place the element on the body.
• In some cases, the center studs are too short to fit the nut onto. This problem is solved in this way: you drill out the bottom layer of metal of the car body with a diameter of 2 cm. Then tighten the studs using nuts onto the 2 layers of metal that you did not drill out.

Applying sealant to the spoiler

• Drilling holes for the studs on the left and right is not so difficult. They are removable, but the difficulty lies in their entry at an angle. Experts cannot agree on a specific angle for drilling holes, so you must determine the desired value by eye. If the holes are larger than intended, this will only help the spoiler fit more tightly.
• Paint the drilled holes to prevent discoloration.
• Wipe the surface of the trunk with degreaser.

Installing a spoiler on a car

• Place rubber bands at the location of the future fastener for a more durable fixation of the part. They will also prevent the body from being scratched. Then attach washers and screws to the appropriate places, 4 pieces of each fastener.
• Apply glue or sealant to the rear spoiler and attach it to the surface, taking into account the shape of the trunk of the Kalina (hatchback).

Engine

The Lada Kalina car began production in 2004, and in 2018 it was discontinued as it was replaced by new models. The car was produced in both sedan and hatchback body styles. It should be noted right away that the differences in tuning of these models are minimal, since most of the improvements in Kalina traditionally concern the engine and chassis. These elements are the same for sedans and hatchbacks. As for the interior, Kalina’s interior is designed in such a way that there is little that can be improved. Now more details.

The maximum engine capacity of the Kalina is 1596 cm³. This is a 16-valve engine with 4 cylinders that is capable of producing a torque of 4 thousand revolutions per minute. Its power is 98 hp. c. But many car enthusiasts are not satisfied with such characteristics. And they are trying in every possible way to improve them. Here's how it's done:

• installation of a direct exhaust system. This increases motor power by 2–4%;
• performing chip tuning. Today, not a single Kalina owner can do without this operation. It comes down to replacing the standard firmware in the car’s electronic unit with an “advanced” one. Craftsmen have developed many firmwares that can be divided into two categories - “economical” and “sporty”. The former allow you to save fuel, the latter, on the contrary, increase consumption. But at the same time, the dynamic characteristics of the engine also increase. It becomes more torquey and torquey;
• installation of an air filter with reduced resistance. This allows the engine to literally “breathe more freely”: the combustion chambers will receive more air, and the combustion of the fuel mixture will become more complete. As a result, the motor power will increase by 8–12%;

Method of attaching a spoiler to Kalina 2

The following body types are now known: sedan, station wagon, hatchback, jeep, liftback and others. In fact, the location of the spoiler installation depends on them. Basically, it is attached to the rear of the car (door or roof). Its installation is determined by the shape, size and type of body. This can be done in three ways. In the first case, installation is carried out most traditionally - using bolts. However, this option is not very popular, since you have to drill into the car body.

The second method is to fix the spoiler with double-sided tape. It is suitable for attaching a small product. Some car enthusiasts prefer to replace it with sealant or glass glue.

Spoiler mounts

The third method involves installing this part of the body kit using brackets. It can only be used when the shape and clearance of the vehicle's rear cover allows it. For Lada Kalina 2, the first two mounting options are preferable.

As for the material, spoilers are often made of plastic, aluminum, fiberglass and polyurethane. All of them have certain technical and operational characteristics, so before purchasing this or that product, it is recommended to consult with specialists.

The shape of the spoiler is determined by the shape of the body. However, designers always surprise us with the most non-standard and original solutions that can make your car sophisticated and sometimes even aggressive.

Salon

The interior of all Kalina variants is designed in such a way that it is extremely difficult to make any radical improvements to it. Therefore, car owners usually limit themselves to cosmetic changes:

• lighting installation. In Kalina, literally everything is illuminated: the floor, the ceiling, the pedals. Recently, car enthusiasts have even begun to illuminate their door handles. For all this, LED strips are used. Often they are attached to the illuminated surface with ordinary universal glue. The dashboard lighting stands out. To install it, drivers have to remove the instrument cluster, unscrew the incandescent lamps used in the factory lighting, and replace them with LEDs;

Advantages of a sedan aerowing

Of course, the Kalina Sport is a remarkable car, but the most striking impression from the Lada Kalina family of cars is made by a sedan with an installed aero wing. It is worth immediately noting that the aerodynamic performance of the car will change when reaching a speed of 120 km/h and above. Moreover, the wing must be attached to a rigid part of the car, and the wing itself must be made of metal.

Therefore, a sedan with an installed spoiler is only a model with an improved exterior, but not technical characteristics. In this case, the installation of an aero wing should be entrusted to professionals, since it is much more complicated than installing a spoiler on a Lada station wagon or Kalina hatchback. One cannot cope with such a procedure. If you find a partner, the following algorithm of actions will help you accomplish your plan.

1. Apply masking tape to the fender and trunk. This is necessary so as not to spoil the paint when drilling holes, and also for ease of marking.
2. We carry out markings by installing and centering the airfoil. We use a regular pencil or pen. We mark holes for future fasteners.
3. The most painstaking part of the job is drilling the holes. There is no need to rush here. We start with the smallest drill and gradually increase the size until we reach the desired diameter. Usually fastening is carried out with 3.5 mm screws. Under no circumstances should we remove metal chips with our hands. The surface will immediately become covered with scratches. Only blowing is allowed.
4. Use double-sided tape to secure the spoiler to the lid. This is necessary to drill the spoiler through the holes in the trunk. Without this procedure, it may crack when tightening the bolts.
5. We remove all the masking tape and process all the holes for metal burrs. We treat the joints between the air wing and the trunk with alcohol.
6. We place the spoiler on the adhesive-sealant. Starting from this step, a partner is actively involved in the work. We begin docking one by one. First on the left side. The right one is held in the air, without touching the trunk, by a partner. We tighten the bolts, but do not tighten them all the way. We repeat the procedure on the right.
7. Tighten the screws and remove excess sealant.
8. To give the inside of the trunk an aesthetic appearance, paint the screw heads.
9. Let it dry for a day without closing the trunk lid.

In general, the described event should take no more than 3 hours. Please pay close attention to step 3 of the instructions provided.

Lighting

In the case of Kalina, there are only two options:

• replacing standard headlights with brighter ones (usually with LED bulbs);
• installation of xenon illumination in standard headlights and subsequent dimming of this illumination with a special spray. This is necessary in order to avoid questions from traffic police officers.
