   I got the devil horn spoiler off ebay couple week back. I off to get it painted tomorow hopefully, but does anybody know properly how you fit them? Theres no holes in it, so its never been fitted before. Do you bolt them on or just screw them on or what? Help would be appreciated, thanx

   i expected a comment like that lol. i thought of bonding it, but it would be a lot easier for somebody to just rag it off. I dont live in a rough area, but you always get the odd little squirt about

   No problem as for the spoiler.. it needs bonding by a bodyshop around the joints of it so it dosent fall off when your going at high speeds... You will probally have to get the top of your boot resprayed.. (if not the whole thing)...

    You can't get it off full stop without damaging the paint and the boot... As for the best stuff to use.. I wouldent know, it's a bodyshop job in my honest opinion.

    The guy i asked at a paint shop, said i try to avoid fitting them as i don't like drilling into bodywork. Another guy i know, i was supposed to take the parts round today for him to spray them, but he had to go to nottingham, so im gonna have to wait till tomorow or tuesday now. So i havent had the chance to ask him about fitting them or costs.

    Drill it.. but then when you take it of your going to have holes.. so there going to need smoothing over and spraying... You wont get away with not re-spraying the boot or buying a new boot (like i did).

    Ye thats true. I suppose all i can do is wait and see if this other guy can fit it for me. I'm hoping he can because then i don't know any other places

    He'll most likely have some mate if he owns a bodyshop?

    Yeah probably so. I think he has his own garage, but he just lives over road from our local pub. So i'll take it to his house, via the pub

    Before you bond them-on, postion them on the boot and take alook around the car from all angles just so your happy with the fit and overall look of the spoilers, last thing you want is to bond them on and then change your mind.
    
    Please don't take the above as someone whos tryin to talk you out of fittin them, im all for people thinkin outside the box, just make sure they both sit level or they will look funny.
