Default Veilside Spoiler

How does the veilside spoiler fit to the car?

Do I need a fitting kit?

Best to keep it in the boot .... they look a bit girly.

Mikey had some ultra high bond tape which we used to fix mine.

We marked out where the spoiler was to fit on with a chinese pencil and then put the tape on (leaving gaps for water to flow out) and then stuck it on. Applied a bit of pressure and hey presto!

pretty sure it was 3M do a search for 3M very high bond tape it's expensive though abouot 40 quid a roll, but quite brilliant and you can sell some to other people for doing the same thing .

A chinese pencil is a really soft pencil you use to mark stuff that you want to be able to erase very easily.

I would not trust my spoiler on with tape...

At least put a nut through it as well incase the tape comes off you wont loose it.

The idea of the veilside one was so I didn't have to drill holes in my boot IIRC

My number plates are held on with velcro
