Sport Boot Spoiler

[Dodgydave]

Hi everyone,

Just managed to get a sport rear spoiler for my Lex. Bought a complete bootlid with spoiler attached off eBay.

I was in two minds what to do with it, either get the whole bootlid and spoiler sprayed to match my car and swap the whole thing or remove spoiler from bootlid, get sprayed and then fit to my bootlid; my preferred option.

Anyway once I got the thing I thought I would have a go at removing the spoiler from the boot lid to see how easy a job it would be. I had read some old post on here that indicated that this was a very difficult job.

I started by undoing the two nuts on the underside of the lid and then carefully sliding a putty knife between the lid and the spoiler to part the two from the double sided sticky stuff. It all started to come away quite easily but I found there were also some like plastic clips holding it on as well.

Anyway some photos, see what you think.

As you can see even came with the number plate still attached, hope it didn't belong to anyone on here

Came with brake light too.

and spolier....

and this is one of the plastic clips that proved a bit tricky to free

All I've gotta do now is get it sprayed and then fit it.

Happy days,

Dave.

Wow, nice find! I've been looking at eBay for months for a spoiler like that. Good find, how much did u get it for just out of interest?

[Dodgydave]

I paid £100 + £15.99 postage. I made an offer of £70 but got rejected.

The wife offered to buy it as an early Christmas present so I had it :winky:

This had been on eBay for a while before I bought it so I don't know how you missed it.

There was another one on there which I was offered for £60 but it wasn't a sport one. It was slightly raised from the bootlid with a support in the middle and it was pick up only. Link here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

but I see it's ended now. Dont know whether it sold or not so may get put on again.

Just keep an eye out on eBay. They come up from time to time. If your's is that coulour you stand an even better chance of getting a boot lid complete with spoiler and just swapping the lot over.

It was a bit different for me as mine is a bit of a rare colour. Still haven't got it sprayed yet but I have just organised to get it done next week, so should be looking at fitting it soon.

Here you go Ben, Good Luck.

[Dodgydave]

There you go. You see that didn't take much searching for.

Mind you that starting price is the same as I got mine for on Buy it now. Just have to hope that noone else bids on it.

It also has the much sought after 18" 6 spoke alloys.

It also has the much sought after 18" 6 spoke alloys.

I was actually also interested in the bootlid with the spoiler but the seller insisted it did not have a brake light which was what I wanted. I asked him to double check and no reply. Asked him about the wheels. No reply. It appears he never puts anything in writing. Note his very poor feedback rating on eBay. Looks as if he has also reregistered under a different name.
