Bugeye Spoiler 'Adjustment'
Right the story goes like this.......I like a bargain as much as the next guy, so when I saw these CF spoiler risers for offers, I jumped in quite low, £40 inc delivery.Well, my offer was accepted. Fast forward to this afternoon, they arrive and I set to work trying to fit them.
First thing first, remove the old spoiler, not an issue even for a bodger like me.
As I fitted the risers to the underside of the spoiler I became aware of the fact that there was no hole for the spoiler brake light wire to be fed through (first thing to be sorted in the next few days). I fitted them with not much hassle.
Fitting the whole ish to the boot was another thing altogether. Three holes matched up and I had no issues bolting them down (although I need some kind of rubber seals to seal the risers to the car, any recommendations?). The fourth hole was miles off, so I started to make a pilot hole to screw into. I now understand how uncompromising carbon fibre can be, and the upshot is that I have the spoiler connected by 3 bolts until I can get to a drill in work tomorrow.
The pics are below, sorry they are taken on an iphone when the sun was going down. I know these things divide opinion, but I am going to give them a few weeks to see how they grow on me; first impressions not too bad!

These have been around for ages and I have never been able to tally these up in my head ! they look wrong buy I am not quite sure why as they don't look bad.
These are a definite if you like them
looks better than an STi spoiler on a WRX
I think Cuscokids daughter had them on her hawkeye.
