I have started this topic to show off my skills or lack of ;D ;D ;D ;D
And to say thank you to everyone who has helped me on this site get as far as I have.
I have today fitted the Prodrive spoiler I bought to my replacement bootlid. I used Sikaflex 255 as was recommended on here and have used masking tape to help keep it in place while the adhesive bonds like another member did and after making a mess of the adhesive on the bootlid have cleaned the escess off and am now waiting for it all to be dry and secure if I have done it right ;D ;D ;D
I couldn't be bothered to re paint the spoiler or use filler on it. What I am going to do in the near future is use a touch up pen just to cover the scratch on the under side of the spoiler up a bit.
I have taken photo's but before my otherhalf went to work doing overtime and I got up my partner completely tidied up the house.
Boy am I in trouble when they get back ;D ;D ;D ;D
I will add photo's and possibly a How To if there isn't one already. But the how to will have several names on it as I wouldn't have done without the help of the others on here. I will name names later but only popping on here briefly as I am soooooooo happy.
Catch you all later, and thanks again for your help.

I will add a picture of it fitted on Thursday evening or Friday as it is going on Thursday. :)

So many pics of the same thing........!!!
to clear the mess up try T Cut scratch remover, it will dissolve that excess glue and tidy the whole "look" up
-
Thanks M, I know there are loads of photo's of it lol, I am insane about my cars and love photography. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I started with t-cut and a lot of Elbow grease however that only removed some of it, in the end after trying lots of different chemicals in the house I pulled my credit card out of my wallet and gently scraped the rest off without damaging the paintwork. So, now that is sorted and I will add more pictures of the same thing ;D later on, I would have done it now but camera battery went flat so it is on charge until tonight.

My car is now fitted with a prodrive spoiler YAY :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
-
I won this spoiler on ebay, but I need to fix it first as it's quite scratched. I need some other work done on the bodywork so I think I will leave it to the pros ;P
Now that you've done it two years ago, is the spoiler still attached to the bootlid after using Sikaflex 255?
BTW never too many pictures!

This tread took serveal seconds to fully load on the iPhone :o ;D

As I recall it was some stupid type of net, not paint ;D

Net result was the same ::) car became almost invisible from behind at night, have pics to prove it too :y

Yes I recall I made several comments about looks taking priority over actually being visible at night :o
