Picture Required Rear Spoiler

tony_fry · 3rd April 2008, 05:55

Could anyone help me out, I have recently brought a large boot spoiler from another member and would like to see a how it is attached to the boot lid. I have tried to find a car locally that has one fitted, but without any luck.

I don't want to go drilling holes in the wrong place.

Some pictures would be great from the underside of the boot, just so I can see where the holes should be.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Steve, many thanks, look forward to seeing how it is correctly fixed.

I am sure two of the bolts go through the bump stop, but I just want to make sure.

I overtook a rather tatty Rover 400 yesterday, seemingly absolutely standard, apart from a huge alloy high-rise adjustable spoiler, slightly wider than the car, on the boot. I was on my own, otherwise I woud have had my passenger photo it.

The only saving grace was that it could have been a "Q" car, ie huge tuned engine etc, hidden in a standard body. But looking at the car, I doubt it.

OK, thread hijack over.

here they are- one bolt is under the bump stop, which is adjustable and screws in and out

Many thanks for that Steve, I checked the boot and there is a hole already marked where the castle nut goes, so that one will be easy to drill, but the one under the bump stop is not marked, so it will be a bit of guess work.

The pictures help no end.

Again Many Thanks Steve

Regards
Tony
