I have just spotted a roof spoiler for sale from Marshall parts on E-bay (149 pounds), has anyone dealt with this firm?. I was looking to get them to paint it and then I was going to fit it myself! Has anyone fitted one and what's involved or am I better off getting it done at a local body shop..

Cheers

Let the scrum begin

I have been using Marshall at Melton Mowbray for years, when I purchased my First car from them, ( i'm know on number 3)they went out of there way to ensure that I meet the managers at the dealership, I know them all by name and they always make time for me when ever I visit. I purchased a roof spoiler from them a couple of weeks ago., the colour match was perfect and one of the lads in the parts department offered to fit it of me, as it only took him five minuets or so I was given coffee and sat in the lounge. he didn't charge me for the fitting and the spoiler look great. I know they have a wed site and sell a lot on E-bay. I can't fault them and would recomend them above any one else.

I bought some items from them on eBay with no problems at all. One item got lost in the post but they sent another with a small gift straight away. Good service me thinks.

Ive just bought a second hand tailgate spoiler, its the genuine article AND ive read the notes on here about fitting however I note on my genuine LR part that I see there looks to be both a plug hole each end and a threaded screw hole each end; Is it bolted as well? (ie should it be bolted?)

Should have two stepped brackets, the early ones had a metal bracket with two screw holes on each bracket, the later ones use a plastic bracket with one screw holding the bracket to the spoiler. There were pictures in the past but I think the member left and deleted his gallery.

Sticks on the the bolts and metal clamps help make sure it does not fall off ...
