Default grrrr, please help!!

(RE-POSTED) Morning all,

Quick one. Can't for the life of me find a replacement strip for the center brake light on my Carbon V6 Spoiler...

This is very frustrating!

Also, unsure of how the devil to get the bugger out! The spoiler is bonded to the boot lid (evidently a paranoid previous owner!) and although I can see a 'flap' that appears removable below the strip, I dont want to go snapping bits off, as they aint cheep to replace!

Any pointers for parts and fitting would be great! I know I sound dence, maybe I am... Rather ask the question and get it right than have a go and nd up with a mess!

If it's a genuine spoiler, you can't get the brake light off PROPERLY without removing the spoiler: it's fixed with three machine screws through the base of that cover and two more holding the LED strip in place.

Best of luck.

i thought that was the case to access the light. you have 2 chances to remove the spoiler safely. NONE... AND **** ALL joke but its hardly funny.
