Boots, Locks and Spoilers

The_Monk · 18th May 2008, 16:22

I have a lip spoiler on my ZT and I really fancy a larger spoiler. I'm sure its been asked before but I can't find it, is it possible to swap them? Would there be any drill holes exposed by removing the lip?

If so...

If I bought a new boot lid, there are some on ebay but they have locks on them (mine is facelift), is it possible to get a lock to fit the original key? And if you can will I still be able to use the boot pop function on my remote?

Many Thanks

The lip spoiler and Mk1 raer spoiler use different mountings. Ti Rich had both on his, looks ok, but not my cup of tea.

I suspect that trying to get the lock arrangement to work would be difficult as it will be BCU controlled. I suspect you could have one or the other option, but not both....

Not sure I like both on together. Looks like I'll have to keep searching for a facelift version. Thanks

I've come to the conclusion, that BIG SPOILER mk1 and Lip spolier mk2 look best. Mixing and match doesn't do it for me.....

You can swap your lock over to another boot lid no problem, i did it when i had mine re sprayed,

Am I right in thinks Face lifts dont have a boot lock. or was that just an option. I'm sure Trebor had a remote boot

Yeah mine doesnt have a boot lock, I was just contemplating the possibility of finding a boot lid that did have one and the feasibility of getting my key to work. Works on the boot popper fine from the remote, apart from when frosty and the boot lid sticks!
