GSI spoilers

[neil-h]

right, i have a GM corsa GSI spoiler that i\'m fitting too my car. question is how is the black plastic mounting bracket fitted to the car (on the GSI/SRI etc)? as the section of the boot it attaches to is box sectioned and sealed.

ok adding to this, gettin ma spoiler sprayed today...

the screws on the back of the spoiler..any suggestions on how i can successfully drill the holes in the boot to match? i was thinkin bout stickin grease on the end of the screws? any1 else have any good ideas?

damn, dont spoze u know anywhere i could get the tabs? i was thinkin bout putting some grease on the end of the bolts on the spoiler n touchin it down on the roof ???

also, because my car aint meant to have the spoiler it doesnt have the bolts for the mounting bracket welded to the roof so im going to use some short self tapping screws, do u think this would be ok? im kinda scared that i put the screw threw and it pierces the tube for the rear window skooshy...

lastly, i got the spoiler out the scappies n cut off a good length of the skooshy pipe for the spoiler, what would be the best way to join to join the current skooshy tubing and the tubing on the spoiler? i was thinkin some heavy insulation tape maybe...

cheers

skooshy, as in u \'skoosh\' ur windows with the washers

sorry to disappoint but i\'m attachin the bracket with short self tapping screws and the plastic nuts i took off the original car with some no more nails tape around the edges...

unfortunately when i got the painted spoiler back from the bodyshop today they had broke off the two screw thread at the top of the spoiler which was nice so they said they will bond it on at the top once i have all the holes in place

so what would you recommend using to attach two ends of the back washer hose? loads of insulating tape?

also, what happened to use paint code faq on . simong? thot that was pretty good but cant find it anymore

my spoiler didnt come wi car
its bolted on 6 bolts 3 each side and 2 on top *i think*
got it fitted at a bodyshop tho £60 for it sprayin and fitting

[islandofshame]

well thats the bracket fitted perfect, just went with the self tappers and its fixed solid...just need to drill the two holes for the thread on the bottom of the spoiler and then get the top bonded coz of the stupid bodyshop...

the batch thing is weird, skooshy seems to make sense tho didnt puncture the rear skooshy hose btw, result

not read the whole topic but get some sticker flex and stick it on i have done this to 2 of my cars and never came even someon even tryed to steel it by kicking it off and still didnt move a mucle just left me loads of bumps and dints on the roof \'gits\'

yer anything like that all the same really few people use no nails also but it doesnt have any give in it atall so not the best stuff.

y dont u just use a pot rivet gun m8 they r cheep and easy to use all u got to do is drill your own holes m8 and as for drilling the holse all u got to do is get a spray bottle like a old winscreen cleaner bottle and put a bit of oil in it with a bit of water and shake it togethere and keep spraying it on while u use the drill works realy good m8 stops the drill from geting stuck and heating up
