Got one side de-seamed... And brake light hole welded up


Left hand side to de-seam yet.

Only thrown some primer on tonight as it won't get touched for a week now

The JDL spoiler arrived today

Can't say I'm impressed with the fit (or lack of it).

But will post pics soon...

Fairly smooth... Not bad..

Will get some DA action though once its been smoothed in

I wouldn't say don't buy one... Just it's a glue and clamp fit.. So finished paint might get damaged during the installation

If you have the whole boot lid painted then no worries

It deffo gets my :broon:

Would drilling 4 holes and bonding a captive nut inside be an option too ?

Bonding it on with sticaflex type goo and 4 clamps should do it..

I have a few hours tomorrow morning so will bond the corners on and clamp up.. Will leave it till Sunday

Then start the smoothing in process

I'll also get around to posting pics and measurements for Andy the Tyre man ref the gas struts

I got to much to do and to little time... Adam is patiently waiting for his splitter and spoiler.. And Dr Watson is patiently waiting for some interior bits... Sorry for the delay gents.. :slapme:

Ok... So this shows how far the ends are out of shape..

The centre section of the spoiler is flush on the boot lid
