350 Russ Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I decided to fit this myself to save a bit on bodyshop costs and also it means i dont have to lug it down there on the passenger seat! I started by masking up a centre line through the middle of the boot lid and took some measurements and got an exact centre line, after I did this i marked up the centre of the spoiler and lined them up making sure at all times that all the measurements were equal on both sides once i was happy with the positioning of the spoiler I put some more masking tape over all the bootlid where the edge of the spoiler would be and drew a line around the outside of the base of the spoiler this is the horrible bit! I took the measurements off the spoiler for the boltholes and transfered them to the bootlid! take every measurement at least twice! you really dont want to get this bit wrong! I drilled all the holes after i finished marking up with a 6mm drill bit which suited the bolts i was using just fine! After i drilled those bad boys i lifted the bootlid and drilled a 20mm hole on the underside of the lid for the 2 bolts that are nearest the rear window (nissan kindly already put holes for the other 2) I used a paintbrush to paint primer over the bare metal on the holes ive drilled to keep away the dredded rust! I also applied some silicone grease around the holes to keep water out, its only temporary but i didnt want anything that would set so the bodyshop can get it off without damaging it! then its just a case of put the spoiler on and bolt it up! Bobs your uncle! jobs a gooden!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcotix Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 It's a bit mis-leading that the badge is off ... you'd think it would be dead centre .. LoL Looks like you did a sterling job though ... Looking forward to seeing some pictures once it's been painted ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
