spoiler fitting
guys just swapped my spec c spoiler for a sti high rise with tim on here.
just a quick question, on my boot i only have 6 holes, obvioulsy 3 on each side which seem to be in the same place as the low wrx spoiler.
the larger sti spoiler must have 10 - 12 bolts, do i need to drill the boot or will fixing just with the 6 holes i have be enough to support and hold the new larger spoiler down?
thanks
steve

Sorry, time to get the drill out!
Couple of tips:
Make a template in card from the holes in the base of the spoiler, use this to drill the boot, be careful where the drill is going to come through underneath as you may end up catching your boot rubber seal if not careful.
Get some bodywork trim tape (stronge rubberised/foam double sided) and make 'washers' from it for each of the holes to give a seal, otherwise use silkaflex or similar - do not use silicone that's for bathrooms/kitchens!
