Title: My lovely car, ruined!
Post by: cannonfodder on 17 March 2011, 21:38:47
Was driving along the other day in my nice shiny miggy, love the car, most reliable car ive ever had, and some ***** on their phone, went straight over a give way junction, into my passenger side  back wing. It brought tears to my eye because i knew what the ins. company would say about an £800 car... cut a long one short, £1,350 quoted by vauxhall... yeah right! anyway, rounded up some buddies, worked out can do it for £300 ish myself... while im at it, doing a few mods, anyone know how the boot lid spoilers fit on these? can get one but minus 'the fitting kit', can they be bonded on? im all ears, thanks in advance

Bonded on.  There is a product that others have used on here that begins in 'S' (no not that  ;D), not sure what it is, but I'm sure someone will be able to answer what it's called.
One thing to be aware with it though, make sure it's on exactly right when you bond the spolier on and affix with masking tape once you happy and have held it on for a while, because the sticky stuff is good, so if the spoiler ends up sitting not quite right it'll be a swine to get it off the boot again! :o .

Anyone remember / know what the bonding stuff's called as I can't remember  :-?  :y
