Question

Could do with some help on this please. Have tried a BBS search but couldn't find anything sufficiently idiot proof!!

So....my STi5 spoiler should be arriving from David Reid Motorsport any day now & I'd appreciate any pointers on:

1. Removing the existing spoiler (MY99 standard);

2. Fitting the new spoiler. eg are existing two bolt fixings sufficient? I probably need to supplement with double-sided tape, but where's the best source for this - certainly not Halfords!! etc etc.

Bear in mind that my DIY skills are somewhat limited & the most I've done so far on the car is to fit new indicators!!

Any assistance gratefully received!

I'll leave Dave T-S to provide the serious response

1. Leave your car parked in Glasgow / Edinburgh for a while

2. Depends how lucky you are, sometimes they line up OK with the original screws, mine did not, so I had to drill another 4 holes in the boot for it. I further attached mine with body panel glue, I don't know where it came from as David Reid ordered it for me but the only way it is now coming off the car is with the boot attached.

Thumbs up

Thanks Chaps.

Still hasn't appeared from DRM's garage yet, so beginning to think that it won't get fitted in time for the Hatfield meet on Saturday though I live in hope.

Unhappy

Hugh, I know DRM are closed from MAY 28th UNTIL JUNE 11th, so if David is sending the spoiler down himself I don't think you will see it until he is back from the rally
