Looking good scoobyshep! Very clean and shiney as well!

One thing I realised today when reading the thread about STi6 saloon rear wings was that we could have used hollow wall anchors to fix the larger replica waist spoilers to the original mounting points.

Just a thought in case it is decided that the original items are too expensive.

Thanks for the close ups I notice that there are no rubbers on the edges that sit on the rear screen (my std spoiler has rubber around the edge that sits between the glass and the spoiler), do you have any rubbing issues?

They unbolted it, it is a STI 2 '555' wagon. They seemed to know what they were doing. i will have to source a replacement tomorrow. Hopefully a glued one will not be so easy to take.

Does the replica spoiler have to be glued to the window?

Yes, because the originals are injection moulded plastic and the copies are fibreglass it would be very difficult (if not impossible) to accurately make the hollow for the colour coded covers to fit into.

I think you may have to cut a hole in the roof spoiler for the bracket to fit into or remove part of the bracket to get the replica spoilers to fit.

Gluing them on is probably a good idea even if you buy the original STi versions as they are easy to remove from the car from the outside. The waist spoiler however needs to be undone from the boot, which was why buzz007uk lost his roof spoiler and not the waist one. I think it was BuRR (or at least someone else on here I was speaking to) that glued theirs on aswell.

I assume that the bracket still could be fitted to the rear window...right? Is it used in any way in the fitting? What "glue" are recommended to use...and does this mean that it will be impossible to remove the replica spoiler in the future?

I've bought the replica spoiler from DR Motorsport (http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk/5%20Door%20Spoiler.htm) that will be painted and mounted in the near future...

According to the information on ETS Racing homepage (http://www.etsracing.com/page6.html) I thought that the original bracket was the only thing you had to use... They are not mentioning glue as something you have to use?

Had anyone fitted a STi replica spoiler from ETS Racing (or DR Motorsport), that could give me some more inputs?

Regards,
Manor

Hi guys on the ets spoiler there are marks in the bottom
of the mould which are where the lower fixing bolts go
you can drill these out if you wish and bolt on but i
dont know how you would fix the top down hence why i
used sickoflex to bond mine on.

The original spoilers have the appropriate fixing holes to fit onto the existing brackets that the OEM spoilers fit with. No glueing required, however noting that the top spoiler can be removed without even opening the rear door, I decided to also bond the top spoiler on with adhesive.

The bottom spoiler just bolts directly into the holes left by the original (had to remove the rear wiper motor to get access to the middle bolts)

It was me who posted the original photos.
