Glad your finally getting the spoiler replaced Mr G, shame you've had to fork out for the inconvienence of the poor unwarranted first one. Lets hope the new one doesn't do the same

[glrnet]

In fairness it was warranted but only for a year, bit of a bummer really, I will be sending it back to the supplier when it comes off to see what they say.

[Darren-B]

Well hopefully the supplier can speak with the manufacturer & come to some arrangement seeing as this is certainly not the only instance of wing failure

[Will370z]

Hope you get it sorted graham, was shocked to see how bad that spoiler had got

[Wasso]

Oh do tell, what's this all about, damaged spoiler?

[glrnet]

It's not damaged, it's defective.

[spursmaddave]

About time it looked awful and really detracted from such a nice car, have you got a replacement from the supplier, surely it shouldn't go like that after just a couple of years

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Mine was like that from the very first day, it's been fixed by RT-P prior fitting. Hope you get a replacement, I wasn't that lucky with my supplier

Who supplied these, as that's not very good if its happened on more than one. Hope you're getting either a good quality replacement or a full refund.

 

You know I'm like at naming lol

[glrnet]

I wasn't aware until the Ace Cafe meet that anyone else had had the same issue, I took some photos but I'm not sure whose car it was and if it came from the same supplier, funnily enough that was Azure too. Mine came from Zmanalex

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Seriously? Mine too

 

But there were others in Wales 2012 with similar problems, I remember taking some photos, must dig them through the millions I have on the external drive I've been told they were from the same supplier.

Really Zmanalex so what's happening about it?

 

What's Alex doing for you?

[Will370z]

The one from ace cafe was an original spoiler on the car from the factory. It belonged to tophooker. It didn't seem to have the defects yours did.

In fairness that one exhibited completely different symptoms and were restricted to the central area only.

[Wasso]

Do it nice or do it........ Erm....... Twice is it?

 

Edit - or in my case 3 times

Not a lot so far, there has been a long conversation though, we'll see what happens when I send the old spoiler back

[spursmaddave]

Hopefully won't come to going down the sale of goods act route as quite obviously not fit for purpose

 

[glrnet]

Well it was for a while but apparently some of these have "been known to react to direct sunlight" and the warranty is only six months.

I'm pretty sure the sale of goods act trumps any sort of 'warranty' mate
