Just asked cause I've had a spoiler for ages sitting in my cupboard... Can't decide on the best option lol.

Yea seems like the only way really, also is it difficult getting the headlights off or is it pretty straight forward coz I had a look but not really to sure where to start on them tbh

Fitted mine exactly like that and came out really well. It's even hard to notice side by side with an OEM fitted spoiler. I had a mate do it for me, but he said the trick was to keep above average pressure on the outside edges of the spoiler until its properly dry. That way it sits flush with the body, in the same way that the outside screws are pulling it in.

Also really strong, you can shake the whole car by pulling at it

I'm not sure how to do mine because if you screw it you need to drill the boot don't you? I was just gonna tiger bond mine.

Not worth drilling imo. Tiger bond + the middle clip that goes into the 3rd break light are enough

havent done anything for a while now on my car which is a shame, mostly coz of paying out for the mot, service and tax all in the same month

and failing on a couple of things on the mot, but its all sorted now which is good which means i can finally think about fitting my new audio bits and bobs (mid speakers, tweeters, crossovers, another amp and change head unit)
looks pretty straight forward but any tips wud be great

also got a quote for my insurance next year+jus for bein a year older+1years no claims goes from £2500-£1300 which still aint cheap but sooo much better, which means more money for mods

watch this space.....

I'm 25 this month and insurance is due in oct il have 4 years no claims (only passed when I was 21) if mine is not under £500 I'm taking up walking !.

I have some jbl gto coaxial speakers in the rear and some upgraded component fronts (can't remember what they are something slicks) I need a new stereo though as I refuse to put my iPod back in that on.

Was thinking of the sony dsx s300btx what you think to that ?!.

Im not to hot on the audio side.

and gave her a good old scrub so thought i mite as well take the opportunity to take sum more recent pics of her.
also my driver side window, and now my passenger window dont go up unless u pull them....happened after i shut my door (not even hard) with the window down, heard like a little rattle when the door shut and now the windows dont work, happened to both of them. figured if it happened jus coz of summin simple like shutting the door surely theres a simple way of fixing it??
propa annoying tho especailly on hot days!!!

but yea any help would be great cheers.
also considering getiing foot well lights (as tacky as they sound) but hav seen a few that actually look alrite and the car is really dark at night so yea.
and maybe getting my bump strips taken off and smoothed.....

With all that on display your car would not last 5 mins where I live.
