Has anybody got one of these spoilers and has actually fitted one?


I'm not too sure how it is secured in the centre, do you have to drill holes all over the boot?

And do you silicone the hole underside of the spoiler?

Help!!!!!

Bargain spoiler by the way, looks well cool!

I have one on a '98 car.

It's fitted with the three bolts on either side which held the original spoiler, and "Puri-Flex" aka "Cica-Flex", which is a sealant obtained from car paint suppliers.
Comes in 2 or 3 colours: I used black with a red car.

You have to hold it in place temporarily, (I used double sided sticky pads and two teenage helpers: ) while you mark the bolt hole positions for drilling.

Then upend the spoiler, place a continuous bead of Puriflex etc round the outside bottom edge of the spoiler, about 10mm in from the edge, and a continuous bead around any holes in your boot: bolts, wiring etc.
I also put 3 extra blobs, one in the centre, and one 20cm either side of it.

Now replace spoiler, get helpers to hold it again, and quickly insert and tighten bolts: NOT too tight, just to hold it.

Then go round and remove any extra Puriflex that got forced out with LOADS of paper towels, and plenty of white spirit, running a wet finger tip or a white spirit loaded towel along any edges to give a good clean bead.

Leave for 12-24 hours, and you can remove the bolts if you want: it won't come off!!
