I thought these were a direct swap over the MY00 mid level spoiler
Tried fit mine last night, took the original one off two bolts removed and one plastic clip that holds it to the boot.
The PD one has 3 sets of holes for the allen bolts to fix to, two on either side I can get to using the original holes, however seems I need to fix one where the plastic peg went into the boot.
Trouble is I can't see the bottom of the plastic peg hole in the bootlid as its double skinned on the inside
How'd I fix this bolt in? Do I need to drill through the double skin on the inside?
Also does the black rubber bung that the peg slots in come out without breaking? I can't get it to budge.
Thanks for any help...

I have had the WR sport spoiler fitted recently to my RB5 by a garage. On looking I noticed that they had drilled a hole in the double skin from inside the boot for the mounting bolts, also there was a broken black plastic peg lying in the boot when I got the car back.
Sorry I cant be more specific, but I dont have the car with me.

Thanks for the info, guess I'll have to drill through the inner skin, no probs doing that though I guess. Wouldn't be so keen if I had to drill through the boot surface itself.
I guess the rubber bits are available as a spare item if they break coming out and I needed to fit the original spoiler back on.
