Just make sure you don't spray it before you match the holes up.

I have seen two replicas that don't match the holes on the boot mate.

Personal taste Steve mate if you like it fit it, I myself am either a none spoiler or very small one that spoiler is huge!

Sorry Stevie but the standard STI spoiler looks bad enough. I'm with Russ on this one, spend the money on something that will make the car drive better. IMHO.

well just an update the spoiler above turn'd up the otherday undid the wrapping to find it damaged top fin split at the seems damaged on the corner fooked in other words dealing with the chap told him said hed get onto the courier,i payed by paypal as a gift so no back up with them the chap has been a good chap so faruntill i asked for a refund he said he has to wait for his money before doing,all i want to ask is how should this situation be dealt with here's a quick view of the corrospondance is the chap or me in the right or wrong your opions welcome....



stevei received pics that's bloody disgusting they must have thrown it from one end of the van to the other and a ton of stuff on topare the lights ok?
i will be giving them **** first thing in the morning .was the bubble wrap damaged on it ? i insured it well so we'll see how i get on and i'll let you know
###[/bulbs are intact so i would say ok bubble wrap was intact apart from is was ripped inbetween the top and botton sections but nothing to make you suspect on arrival it was damaged so see how it goes mate thanks for your help as i think theres a few out there that would of said "not my problem mate" cheers steve

hi steve
been in touch with them can u email me some pics to
############# please taken from all angles please .they are going to send me a claim form but it may take up to 3 weeks to get it sorted
cheers
###

hi ill try to get them to you, did they give any indication to what and how much they will pay as my car has no spoiler on it holes in boot and gonna take three weeks is not what i had in mind!, not sure what to do now get repaired chuck in the bin as now ive just been offered another one brand new 120 collect from near me sodds law

hi steve
no idea how much they are willing to pay .they did say on the phone you may have to return it to me as they will want the spoiler for evidence against the drivers that carried it .as for the holes i'm in the same situation at the mo and i've taped them over if you want to repair it just let me know and i'll not bother with the hastle of claiming for it
###

hi mate if they want it back ill rarther do that obvously,they will have to collect it from me at there cost and then i will need to arange a refund from yourself,then you will get refunded by them hopfully you can get a bit more out of them for the hassle they have caused, so i can purchase this other spoiler ive been offered im not willing to repair at my cost as it will never be right or as strong as it would have been before the damage thanks steve pics have been sent i think the email address you sent was wrong as 1st one failed it sad ao.com in address i amended to aol.com

ok m8 i'll go ahead with the claim can you send some pics of the whole spoiler please i will keep in touch about the claim obviously i can't pay you till i know i'm getting my money back

**** me Stevie what a palaver mate think GOD's trying to tell you not to put that spoiler on your car to!!

I think the only thing you can do is wait for the courier company to sort the sender out compensation for damaging the item sent, Then wait for matey to refund your money I'm sure that's all you can do really?

Gutted for you mate, can't believe he has the front to put negative feedback. Do you get a chance to reply to it so others can see it?
