i used window screen sealer to bond mine on. it fit on ok but there was quite a lip all way round. i had to drill holes and screw it on till it dried then take them out but still had quite a lip so thats why i fibre glass and filed it. i didnt take any pictures till i had it ready to prime sorry.

There only a few miles from me. I was going to collect one if I got one.
Wanted to take my spoiler up and see if it was as easy to fit as they put before getting one.

dont get me wrong with a litle bit of work they are ok. but if your not bodywork minded then you may have to pay a bodyshop to get them to look good.

Any one fitted the lower spoiler you can get from xsport? I'm thinking of getting both the upper and lower ones fitted soon, the lower one is fibre glass but looks like rubber, looks quite good on there site just wandered if some one had one already

i glued mind on with tiger seal. i didnt think the fit was too bad, could have been alot better if i could have been bothered to put more effort in.

cool, look forward to seeing the pics. imo 3drs just look bland without the rs500 bits. as a word of advice to anyone fitting the lower spoiler. ive had the boot up on mine today & noticed that the spoiler has worn through the paint on the 1/4's so id advise putting some vinyl on the 1/4's under the side bits of the spoiler.
