Has anyone fitted the rear spoiler extensions to a 2001> standard spoiler which raises it more?
Do you have any pics?

The person who fitted them to that car must like them. They don't look that bad.

Its a matter of taste.....

Youve either got it, or you havnt......

To fit them you need to take off your original spoiler by removing the four nuts on the inside of the boot lid. (10mm long reach 1/4" drive)

Dont drop them inbetween the inner and outer boot lid skin, or you will have a permanent RATTLE.

You will notice when the nuts are removed that the spoiler is still fixed to the boot lid.

This is due to there being two " door card " type snap-on clips holding it on each end.

Just yank it up, also take apart the brake lightswitch wire at the block connector.

The brake light wire needs to be lengthened by a couple of inches.

Upon reassembly I suggest you 'clear sylicon' the four bolt holes and the brakelight wire hole.

Then enjoy the ridicule and lack of rear vision.

Im sure pictures of mine will follow.......

So have you fitted them Yoza?

i've just seen small pics as on the link above and on scoobymania website (they sell them for £85) - do they really look so bad in the flesh?

BlueBoy

Oh yeah - he's the surf dood of Liverpool (the envy of all Bugeye owners) with his spoiler extensions

Make sure you paint the extensions well and a body shop blending them in would work better than the obvious joins.

Could look good though as the basic spoiler shape is good. Otherwise for a spoiler which is good value and quality, is pre painted free for you and fits the original boot lid holes etc:

Thats horibble! Save your money and buy the proper high level spoiler!

To answer the question, yes I did fit my own.

So that means any 'clown' can do it, but I have got a rattle, and it took me a while to find a spare M5 nut in my box of bits. I also kept ducks in my boot for a few weeks after the first fix.

BlueBoy is just jealous, ignore him...

robby

just seen the jap spec wing on DRMotorsports site for £224.99 - now this looks good - can DRM paint their spolers or just supply?
It says it uses the origional holes so would be easy to fit, suppose the high level light wouldn't really be missed?
