Clio RS 4 Spoiler Question

[MidnightBlack]

Hi guys. I am in the process of buying a 2014 Clio RS 200 EDC. The car is perfect, however there is one detail that is bothering me and that is the rear spoiler.

As you can see from the pictures, it seems to have the stock Renault Clio 4 spoiler and not the usual RS one.
Unfortunately the seller does not know the origin of the spoiler as he bought the car as it was.


I was wondering, could it be that it was originally fitted with the cup wing? Do you know if the Cup Wing is mounted to the side of the stock Clio 4 spoiler (where the two little trim pieces are)? if so, this could be the answer: the original owner did not like the Cup Wing for some reason, removed it and mounted these side pieces to fill the gaps.

Otherwise, the RS spoiler was replaced with a standard Clio one, but this option seems very, very odd to me...

Also from the car vertical report: - REAR SPOILER (BECQA1) Do you know if this code is for a specific type of spoiler?

Thank you very much for reading!

Italian/European market cars might have different specifications to UK ones. It seems to have chrome side trims too.

The chrome trim seems weird to me as well. Usually I either see that little trim in body color, or the boot simply lacks it. Not to mention the lack of badges besided the Renault logo. The car is located in Italy.
Also, I have found another picture where both the logo and the trim piece seem to be unpainted.

True, but all the other Clio RS models I have found for sale in my country have the RS Spoiler (along with the side trim)

Maybe the original was damaged so they found the next best thing available at the time.

When I fitted my smaller cup spoiler it had to be fitted to a standard spoiler, not the original, so I had to buy one and remove the original. I ended up practically giving the rs spoiler away in the end so hopefully you find one easily. It looks like it’s possibly had a replacement bootlid. My thought is early 200t had no trim and later models had the trim but in body colour. Standard models usually had the chrome trim.
Use this opportunity to get a cup spoiler or smaller version!

Thank you for the clarification.

So far my plan is to mount a standard RS spoiler, to paint the trim piece in body colour, and to add the "rs renault sport" badge. But yeah, I could consider to get the Cup Spoiler.

That would be the more standard option and would look good. The spoiler was also fitted to gt models of the Clio 4 as well if it helps narrow it down, although I’m not sure of the colour match. The standard Clio black is different from the rs. It’s only a slight difference but not sure if the gt was the same.
Edit. The rs is deep black and the gt and standard models are diamond black.
