It was through a colleague of a friend so possibly a bit cheaper than normal. One of the online advertisers on ebay who advertised a spraying service quoted me £122 on top of the price of the spoiler with a six-week turnaround! I dropped mine off one evening and picked it up the next. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

vanners back up and connect their spoiler to the towbar in between 1 and 10 minutes depending on the reversing skills of the vanner in question.

this attachment method has mixed results, farmers alongside motorways often find spoilers upside down leaking toilet effluent into their fields At work

Not seen them before but I'd have thought 3M double sided mounting tape would do the trick. It's stickier than a sticky thing!
Used this once to stick my Vortex Generator on my Evo.

cool i'll have to have a hunt about ...i know that it is fairly important to keep the spoiler in place along with the mounting brackets ..... land rover said you can buy replacement brackets ,but not the mounting pads ..... slightly strange ...i thought it would have been part of a mounting kit ....

Use double sided automotice tape such as

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Strong-Wat...0710825349

...and buy the proper LR brackets to make abolutely certain it doesn't fall off.

Good Luck!

Trim adhesive tape - 3M

Automotive trim tape is available on different widths from any professional car paint supplier. I needed to use two thicknesses on my genuine LR spoiler. Make sure that you buff up with T-cut the attachment areas of the tailgate to clean and degrease. Degrease the spoiler recesses with brake aerosol cleaner or meths.
Don't go for speed when fitting the spoiler; try it first and use masking tape alignment marks to make sure that you get the left to right centering. Remember that you don't get the option of adjusting it after first sticking as its a 'one go' job.

2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

Thanks guys for the tips and heads up ...i have found some tape 1mm thick and it's not wide enough ,so will need some fettling ....i will use the masking tape to line it up before fitting ,but now looking at the paint job on it it may be worth a quick blow over and get the body shop to wack it on Thumbs Up .......

i'll post up some pics and let you know how i get on ... Wink
