Default Tailgate woes + WRC spoiler...

just removed my whale tail in order for my buying a WRC spoiler ...

just wondered how people have done it as in the holes in the tailgate particually the ones at the top!!?? Also i found some rust under the lower spoiler anyones else have that underneath ??

looks like i'll be booking it in to have the boot totally refreshed and that

thanks Ad

Was bad yes mate, but rubbed it all down and treated it properly to kill any remaining rust in the metal. There was no tape whatsoever on the underneath of the lower spoiler so god knows how long it had been rubbing for . I had that fixed nearly 18 months ago now and its still fine to this day and my car lives outside all year round

why not buy a second bootlid and have it put on there, so you can chop and change as you feel like it?

Although I think the WRC spolier would look crap unless matched with the rest of the kit, then it looks

Good call, I think it would have looked a bit weird and unless you do the whole kit with wings it will look better standard

well thought the price maybe about the same to convert to wrc, that is was to repair but it looks like it'll only cost about £300-400 to repair the lot so
