(S) Fitting a rear spoiler (Brava)

Sorry for my bad english, but... ;-)

Does anybody have any advice on how to fit a spoiler like this.
It's made from fibreglass and my best guess would be to either glue it on or somehow bolt it.
I don't "trust" glue because the spoiler is rather big and the contact surface with the car is quite small. On the other hand i would have to drill the fibreglass and somehow use an expanding(?) bolt or something to make it stick (the fibreglass is 3 mm thick) and also where it should be mounted on the tailgate there are to layers of metal to drill through...

Any good advice?

Thanks,

you use something called bond, brand name of one is tiger seal, it will hold it

So i should just bond it directly to the paint on the tailgate? Won't the paint just tear off after a while?

i recently got the same spoiler. i personly didnt think bond would hold so i carefuly drilled holes in my boot and fixed the spoiler on......sadly i bodged up and it needs to be mooved half an inch to the right. but then again remember there is nothing like a good bit of body filla.

Was there holes drilled in the spoiler? Did you use any kind of special screws or bolts?

slowly and steady thats me secret. then i used sum screws thats it. but i must warn u watch out the spoiler does crack. if it does crack clear up the mess and rebuild it using body filla. u can do wonders with the thing.
infact on my old car (fiesta) i built an entire wheel arch out of it.
but yeh normal plastic drill. normal metal drill normal screws. use sum glue just incase.

Don't criticise your English mate.

You speak English better than many Englishmen I know

how did it go done it yet?

No - waiting for the weather to get a little hotter so i can paint it first (decided to buy a compressor, spray gun etc. - found out that i can buy the equipment for painting and enough paint for the whole car for the same price as it would cost to get the spoiler painted by a pro.).

But i decided to drill 3 holes in each end of the spoiler and put two nuts inside the spoiler through the third hole. Fill up the third hole and then bolt it onto the car... I'll take some pictures of the process...

dude sweet plann i wish i thought of that befor i glued mine down

wow mutant. your car looks 17 times better than it did a month ago. like the front end.

thanks mate but actualy it hasnt changed since a month ago apart from the spoiler of course and a few bits of paint here and there. as u can see i got rid of the silver front bit. and totaly debadged it. still waitin for that bloomin exhaust thow.......note to self never deal through tanvics performance centre.

yeah. the front end's improved no end!

I've had my Rear Spolier fitted for the best part of a year now, I took it to a garage (I had no idea how to do it myself and would have wrecked the car if i had done!) They measured it up, drilled the screw holes (Mine didn't arrive with pre-drilled) painted it and screwed the spoiler on to the boot also using bonding jel, which was black, no idea the brand, but i painted it white (I have a white'un) when it was solid. It is still solid now and people are surprised when I tell them that it is an add on rather than coming with the car!

Are you able to open your Boot after the installation ? I have one that I bought now I am not sure If I will be able to open the boot after installation please advise.
