WRX 2312

Hi guys

Finally got my high level spoiler back from the paint shop and fitted it this afternoon.

Now I know the genuine STI spoiler has 10-12 bolts, etc, etc mine has only the original 4 bolts where the WRX spoiler sat; it is a very good fit, quite heavy but the boot stays open...my main issue at the minute is... due to only having 4 bolts should I be worried about it flying off when driving??? Might sound a silly question but rather be safe than sorry

I don't know what the risk of it flying off is, but Subaru thought it was worth fitting more than twice that number of bolts.
If you don't have the facility for the extra bolts already built in then you could look at bonding the spoiler on for safety's sake.

It seems pretty secure, all 4 bolts are tight but I did some reading and caught some horror stories of other owners having their spoiler fly off at speed, there are no additional bolt holes so I am considering taking a drive to halfords to get some bonding..however, I am screwed if I ever want to take it off

You've answered your initial question

Why not just get a STi boot lid? There will be plenty available and won't break the bank

Bit pointless now..the spoiler I bought doesn't have additional bolts across the centre and I don't really want to be drilling new holes in the spoiler so if it was a case of buying an STI boot I might as well sell the current spoiler and then buy an STI spoiler with boot, which isn't cheap and then another respray. Been good so far tightened the bolts after the first drive when it was fitted and has been strong since
