ooh ooh ooh!

I just bought an Irmy spoiler off fleabay too - gotta get it fitted though it will apparently need two holes drilled at the each end into the bootlid...

Anyone recommend a really good sealant that won't need the holes drilled?

In fact, would anybody handy that lives not too far from the London/Essex border (willing to travel a reasonable distance) be willing to fit for me? I'm happy to bring it to them and will happily pay for the work? I only have the use of one arm so it's going to be difficult if not impossible for me to do this. I was going to ask a mate but if anybody here is good with this kind of thing it might be safer!

No worries if not though, I'm sure I can badger a mate into doing it, my main worry is about damaging the bootlid drilling holes.

Cheers :)

is it a lip spoiler or a wing spoiler? if you have a wing spoiler that only contacts to the boot at each end, its always safer to be bolted

lips are fine bonded

It's a lippy thingy, the one that gets fitted to the older Elites I think? Same as the one in the pic that started this thread.

Gonna do up my Miggy bit by bit, this just happened to be there looking all lonely.  :P

aaah right, the prodrive ones are "bond only" cos they have no fixing holes
Title: Re: My new spoiler i just won off ebay
Post by: omegamonkey on 13 March 2008, 00:55:09
I could choose to ignore the screw fixings as they're just holes for screws to come through from the boot but not sure if it would be wise?

If I used one of these resin bond things, would it come off again without damaging the paintwork but be secure enough to not be simple to pull off at the same time?

Or should I just get materials from Vx, I assume they use some kind of sealant designed not to damage the paint if it's removed?
