If someone can host the pictures if I email them, then you can see the pictures of a DR motorsport top spoiler.

I have also various shots of the underneath side, with it modified to suit the original bracket. By that I mine simply drilling it.

Ive bought a dr motorsport spoiler but not fitted it yet.
It does have the option for bolting it on, in 2 place where the original spoiler is bolted, The 2 sides bracket (1 either side) which fold around the rear screen & secure on the inside of the tailgate can also be used to add a bit more security to holding the top spoiler.

I am going eventually fit mine using the original brackets which are bonded to the rear screen. I will use a bolt either side & the side brackets will be fixed/screwed to the spoiler. I am going to use bonding sealant too as the bolts on there own in my eyes won't be strong enough.

LOL yeah your right. Its ok if you got the screen cos for the waist spoiler you can drill the holes but yeah if your getting a whole tailgate, its best off.

hi ticky, try photobucket mate. Very easy and quick to use.

Regarding the sealant I think your spot on in wanting to use sealant as an addition to the bolts but i dont think the bolts arent strong enough. They are enough to do the job but additional sealant I guess gives it that sense of security as well as looking like a job well done.

Here is one link:
Note that this is not my spoiler but excatly the same, the holes shown in the picture will have to be drilled. I am not going to drill all 3 holes as shown in the picture The slot was already there when I bought mine.
I am going to drill 2 holes in the spoiler but one inline with the bolt in the middle (red arrow, bracket picture) & one inline with the pin next to it (not highlighted at all) The other 2 holes which line up with the bracket shown by yellow arrows will not be drilled. The slot will be used to bolt the spolier on (green arrow)

I will posted another picture of the side bracket.

Thanks, picture do wonders.
How does your waist spoiler bolt on, does it have the bolts (threads/stud) moulded to the spoiler or do you bolt it from the tailgate side.

Nice one buddy,

I'll sort out everything tomorrow. Shame there wasn't more takers, we might have got them cheaper...... Although £180 isn't half bad

Shaggy or Borat... Have you had yours delivered yet ? Mines delayed due to the paint code being different than yours.
When you get them, get some pics up.........

Cheers,

Thanks for sorting out the GB, been after one of these for ages but have been too lazy to sort out a supplier!

Well mines now on the car, did not follow the fitting instructions as i did not want to take the existing brackets off the car as they had been bonded pretty hard and could not take the hassle of fetching them off.

I drilled 2 holes in the back of the spoiler where the rear mounting screws go and had to file 2 bolts down a bit on the top of the mounting bracket. Did a 'dry run' to check the fitment and it was pretty flush with the car. Fastened the screws and it seemed a very sturdy fit - sure the sealant is not really necesary but i've done a fair bit of M-way driving lately so I thought it wise to make sure.

Applied the sealant and re-fitted it just before it got dark, pictures to follow tomorrow.

It did look the dog's though, very happy and the screws can hardly be seen - If you follow DR's instructions you wont even need to see the screws.

Had a quick snap with the digi cam, heres how the spoiler fits,
Nicked the paint arouns the bolt holes but its well out of the way so unoticable unless you go round with a torch (or camera with a flash )
