Hi guys, I'm interested in buying a spoiler from someone breaking a GTI. The guy is willing to split the spoiler from the rear tailgate, so my question to you is:
What parts do I need exactly for a complete fitment on a standard tailgate? (Apart from the actual spoiler of course) Any bolts or third brake light? Or can I use the existing one?
Thanks for the help

Re: Rear spoiler question
Youll need the nuts that go on the bolts into the spoiler, the brake light on it as your current one wont fit and patience!
Re: Rear spoiler question
Thanks alex Even if it's a hassle, its worth every drop of sweat in the end! lol
Maybe this question is stupid because I didnt see the thing yet, but I'm going to ask it anyway...can it be fitted with some sort of glue instead of the bolts?

It can be but not recommended, use the search tool cause alex has already provided the part number for the bolts but I'm using tapatalk and can't find it.

Re: Rear spoiler question
It needs to be bolted in or it wont sit properly - you will have to drill two holes in the tailgate to do this.
Re: Rear spoiler question
Thanks red6n2 but the actual part numbers are not needed, I just want to be sure that I'm supplied with everything since it's a used part.
Bolts it is then, cheers alex

Re: Rear spoiler question
ive seen people who have glued and clamped them on before it looks shoddy and cheap !
Re: Rear spoiler question
I wouldn't stand it 5 minutes if it looked anywhere near shoddy and cheap! It will be bolted on properly, hopefully sometime soon.
and r12nuts, a complete boot lid would have been ideal but it wasn't a viable option. I can get help with fitting so it won't be a problem
