Spoiler, front and rear splitter - Cameron UK - 21:st-May-2014

So I got these sprayed by a mate for £50! Thought that was quite cheap, how much should I be looking to pay to get them fitted?? Tucpal, fancy it???? Lol

very cheap i could not get the paint for that
buy a tube of this
BODY KIT SPOILER FIXING ADHESIVE GLUE CAR BODY REPAIR | eBay
and glue the roof spoiler on and hold in position with tape for 24hrs

lower rear spoiler
remove the black plastic insert by removing two screws underneath and one screw ether side of the wheel arch
take the reflectors out remove the sticky tabs put some bonding on tape bumper in position put the screw back in and the reflectors

unfortunately you need to leave the car so the bonding sets so you are best to do it your self

Do I take the front rubber splitter off the front bumper???

In the middle there are 2 flaps that have a circle in, they seam like their meant to be hooked into something but their not??


Spoiler, front and rear splitter - tucpal - 22:nd-May-2014

i have not fitted the original front spoiler but yes the rubber bits stay on

pic.s please

Make sure you put up loads of pictures before and after you get it all fitted, even better start a progress blog


Spoiler, front and rear splitter - tucpal - 23:rd-May-2014

i seem to remember someone fitted this and had to take the front bumper off
and removed the lower inner panel
and as above try to get some pic,s of how they all fit on as that was something i should have done
but never did and also i should have kept the instructions but sadly i never did that also
so it will be a big help if you could get as many pics as possible and a good how too would be appreciated

were the sticky tabs are on the spoiler the bonding goes about an inch down from that
you will see lines on the inside as guides

I havnt been able to take any 'before' pics as my phone is getting repaired, i do have lots of pics though of the caR


Spoiler, front and rear splitter - Cameron UK - 23:rd-May-2014

couple of strange things:

they took off the rubber splitter thing off the front bumper when they fitted the front spoiler

There is a gap at the edge of the front spoiler where it joins the wing, gonna tiger seal and clamp this together myself, CBA with him doing it,

Overall i'll give it 8/10 Deffinately need side skirts!!!
