Title: Advice on spoiler
Post by: miggy on 22 November 2007, 17:21:53

Can anyone recommend a good adhesive/bonding agent that i could use to attach a winged spoiler to the boot, if so, where would i get it from, I have 3 bolts to use but i dont really want to drill the boot. Would bonding be sufficiant.

tigerseal, its a bit like sikaflex, once it goes off it is a bugger to break the seal on

we used to use it on the cavaler calibre bodykits, god help anyonr who wanted to do any repaires after we had bonded them on with that  ;D ;D ;D

I guess you might also want to consider how much surface area you are able to bond - I mean that on some high-rise spoilers that only have thin legs you would prabably still  need to bolt them on, but others that contact the bodywork a lot more would be fine.

You don't want to be losing your spoiler once upto speed on a motorway!!!

i strongly recommend having it bolted on properly with it not being the greatest surface area being attached to the car

mine's bonded on, being an original elite lip spoiler it doesnt actually have bolting mounts, but the entire edge all the way around the spoiler is in contact with the boot anyway (apart from two tiny air ridges at the bottom)

i used an outdoor suitable adhesive called evo stick serious stuff, nobody had recommended it to me, i just saw it on the shelf and thought "that might be good enough!!" so its your choice what you use really as opposed to taking my advice on this one! :D

only when i opened it and applied it did i realise it was white and not black ;D but either way it's done the job!!
