PAJERO Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Decided to take the plunge and order one at that price, probably a daft question but does any one know how they are fixed, is it necesary to drill boot lid or silicone in place , one reason i chose this as it didn,t interfere or require removal of original spoiler.

Zhorno Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Let me know how it fits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

A pain in the arse to fit. (well mine was). I would drill through the boot lid....makes it stronger....and should be easy enough for the coupe. The roadster has a plastic boot lid....hence easier to drill...but not as strong. I fixed mine (bolted) in four places...plus tiger seal. It aint going anywhere. Also not sure on the ones from Polond...but mine didn't have predrilled holes. Yet more heartache (for my Dad anyway - as he fitted it). Quote
bpmjames Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 What diffuser is that? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Quote
PAJERO Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Someone mentioned its based on a copy of a Giancussi , link to this one at start of original post £110 including delivery ,people seem happy with it. Quote
bpmjames Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 That's the spoiler though not the diffuser? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Quote
jables Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Tasteful looking spoiler and looks to fit neatly around the stock spoiler. Hmm, need to see it in ginger, but rather tempted! Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 So went ahead and ordered 1 on the 7th Dec, awaiting delivery today again. was meant to be here yesterday but didnt arrive time slot 2.30-4.30, 3.40 tracking said unable to deliver, so let see if it arrives today keeping in mind it is coming less than 20 mile from their depot Quote
d95gas Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Did this turn up ? whats it like ? Graeme Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 It did, yeah. Was very well wrapped in bubble wrap. (took me 20 min to get it all off lol) Left it in the kitchen till about 2 hours ago waiting on someone to call and help me set it on the car to test and usually my house is like Piccadilly circus and no-one came, so I wrapped it all up and havent got to test fit it yet lol.

gsexr Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Is it fibreglass or plastic ? Edited December 21, 2013 by gsexr Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Its fibreglass, just though not have to worry about hitting curbs or speed ramps so it should be fine and if I do hit a curb with it I am in some serious trouble lol Quote
d95gas Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Its fibreglass, just though not have to worry about hitting curbs or speed ramps so it should be fine and if I do hit a curb with it I am in some serious trouble lol Slightly confused me on how the Spoiler is going to hit the curb unless you are a Hooligan Driver who likes to do high speed rolls Quote

Carrie-B1 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 Heard bad reports on fibreglass so my way of thinking on fibreglass = do not buy fibreglass parts for the car as they will crack when in contact with unmovable objects, (2 times I have went to far forward when parking and caught the front of the car on a curb (thank god those bits were plastic no cracks, little bit of a scrape, I can live with that) so when looking at this spoiler first thought, Fibreglass Nooooo but 2nd thought its not near the ground and if it does hit a curb or an unmovable object the spoiler will be the very last thing I will worry about. Hope that clears that up for you . ( its a women thing ) lol Quote
d95gas Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Ah...... Being a mere man, I think I understand, its difficult when we are not privy to the higher intellect of a woman Now get a trial fit going to so we can all get our orders in. Have a great Christmas Graeme Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 I will try Graeme, Have to wait to 1 of my brothers call round to help me set it on the car, because I know multi tasking is a women's best aptitude but I have not learnt the ability to hold the item on the car and take a photo with my foot just yet, but working on it lol. Hope you have a great Christmas also Quote

Hope you have a great Christmas also Camera + tripod + 10sec selftimer + cheeky pose with spoiler = win Just make sure it's not windy if you do this. Here's how my recent attempt at this panned out. Camera + tripod + 10sec selftimer + wind = broken camera Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Add sandbag at base of tripod if it looks windy.... Quote
Zhorno Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 When you getting this fitted eager to see how good it looks cus I want 1 lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 The Gods are so against me. When someone is here to help test fit it, it is raining and windy and when it is calm no one here Promise will get a photo up asap. And it wont be going in to get painted till after the new year Quote
Carrie-B1 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah the Gods were good today, finally got to test fit and it was as perfect Photos are not the best, using a phone camera but hopefully you can work out the angles. Some look a bit off but it was the shape I took the photo 2 Quote
chirag1988 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 looks good so far, will be bang on once painted Quote
d95gas Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Looks like a perfect fit........all looks good enough to me, so time to order :-) Glad I waited for the trial fit. Have a great New Year Graeme Quote
