After waiting a month and finally painting and fitting my naxos front spoiler,

I was really chuffed how good it looked on the B.

It came supplied with little markers to drill holes and mount to the existing
front valance.

I,ll presume that i fitted it correctly, but the other day running the B up that straight just sent it flying.

It ripped it off from the mounts and has also cracked the lower valance. (n)

Would like to know if anyone else has one fitted and if they shared the same problem.
 
:yeahthat:

Sounds like the mountings were not up to it, did you have big fat washers on the bolt heads?

I would like a lip spoiler - think that they look excellent on the B, quite fancy a black one on my red B........

I notice that you ommited to mention that you were doing 125 mph when it came off :rolleyes:
 
I used large headed rivits and also double sided tape to the sides where it meets the edges.

there wasnt much choice to where it would fit . it came with four little indents, i presumed was where i was to drill. Felt strong and fine at the time.

I do want to get another, only problem is i have cracked the existing bottom valance and not sure how it can be fixed.

Sure we'l share some comments on sunday.(y)

Oh yer! never got to recover the spoiler or see its condition. the Lambo said it came flying over him.

Sounded like my engine fell out when it came off. :eek:
