Fitted my rear spoiler

A couple of chaps asked how the spoiler attaches and for pics of the before and afters so here they are.

A very quick job. The instructions said put the brackets on last once it is stuck but i put the first one on and used it as a guide. I took my time and lined it up before taking off the double sided tape.

Here are the pics Thumbs Up

Annie, if I may be so bold, how much did they charge you for the spray job? PM if you'd rather not advertise it Thumbs Up
As soon as they have them back in stock I think I'll order one, just need a 'total' rough price.

That's not too bold EY.

The spray cost was more than i expected to be honest Rolling Eyes

It was £90. I would have expected £50 but i'm still over the moon with it and have saved a lot compared to what the dealer would have charged Smile I'm sure that I could have got it sprayed for less if I'd have shopped around.

The dealer would have charged me more than the spray cost just for fitting I bet and it was a few minutes job Thumbs Up 59 TD4e XS in galway green

I really like it. It looks quite bare in the before photos.

I think Razman sprayed his own (black) and although i've sprayed things before, i was happier having it done Smile
Tints on Thursday and then that's it for a while I think Thumbs Up 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Righto Speedway. Could be controversial as me and the husband both want very dark but i've heard it can make the car dark inside. The chap is going to show me the different shades when he comes to fit Thumbs Up We would like it as near to factory colour as possible Smile 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Depends on the colour of your interior, black would need a lighter tint than beige, I had dark tint on silver car with Alpaca interior and it was ok. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.
