What a bummer

Yup P*ssed me off big time, but I have a couple of options so fingers crossed :D

I was gonna paint the mesh on mine when the weather gets a bit better and now i've seen it done it's a goer. Would defo do the calipers black matey will stand out against the Plat Ice, mine are blue with silver stickers but I wanted mine to match the car like it's been said it's down to personal taste, just make sure when you do them you give them good scrub with de-greaser 1st :) and then get some pics up when it's done.

Thanks for all your help guy's but it's a no go turns out he'd sold the bootlid to a garage and they were going to take the spoiler off and give it back so he could sell it, anyway when they realised they couldn't get it off they said they'd sell me the whole bootlid at a much higher price, so it's not happening, fortunately I do have a couple of other options :D

That's no good mate it's Black not Blue.

Just e-mailed a guy near Blackpool with one so i'll see what he wants for it, reckon it'll be outta my price range tho.

Cheers Chris, looks like the mini meets off again.

Anyone got a boot spoiler for an IS for less than £100 they want to sell :D preferably in Royal Saphire ;)

Cheers matey.

Anyone know if a GS spoiler will fit an IS, anyone? even if it's NO, just wondering, I don't think it will but would like confirmation.

Here you go matey.

Edit i'll pm you it matey.

I've offered to take the whole boot lid off him so i'll see if he comes back to me, if not do you mean send a message from someone else's e-bay a/c asking if he's got it.

Just a thought will a spoiler off a GS fit an IS?

He's just sent me a message saying it won't come off as it's glued on, I think he's had a better offer, he's refunded my money but i'm not letting it go that easy, i've asked for his location (hope it just down the road from yours Chris) to see if it can be collected either the spoiler if it'll come off or the whole bootlid, but not holding my breath I think someone else already has it.

Mine was held on by 2 strips of foam tape, and 3 nuts matey, if they undo the nuts from inside the boot lid and gently pull the spoiler up from one end it should peel off, if they have trouble tell them to slide a flat scraper under the spoiler as they lift it to break the seal? :)

Cheers Chris, I e-mailed him yesterday and told him it was held on by 3 bolt's and double sided tape or something similar and if they undid the bolts it should just prise off slowly, but he's not got back to me yet, what I am cocerned about is he's making the whole thing up because he's realised the spoilers worth alot more. Whats annoyed me aswell is why list the spoiler for sale in the 1st place without checking how it comes off.

Do you know where abouts in birmingham he is mate?

Does sound like hes having second thoughts, most breakers would of removed it before sale? ;) But the deal has been done so he should come up with the goods in my book :)

Don't know where he is matey, what i'm concered about is he's had abetter offer and is going to say he's broken it whilst getting it off, if he does that i'm going to ask for photo's of the damage and if he can't prove it then i'll have to report him to e-bay. Maybe he's genuine and i'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I really want this spoiler and i'm not giving up on it that easily.

If he wasnt too far away mate i'll go over for you and i'll take it off so at least you'll get it then? :)

Could always find out matey, tought you lived in Staffs tho? if you could get it for me I would be forever gratefull, that way I could come and get it from you and bring you that exhaust piece at the same time.

Cheers for that matey, they are very expensive that's why i'm desperately trying to sort this one, if it can get it here it would of only cost all in fitting, spraying, delivery and the spoiler itself £125, getting really fed up now tho.

Spot on again matey, i'm sure your really a Magpie

Just been on Toyo Diy and the price on there for this spoiler is 561euro's which is about £517.

It's only going to cost me £50 to get it sprayed and fitted, I just need to get it here even if they send the whole bootlid I reckon I could get the spoiler off quite easily, but to be honest matey it's really starting to do my head in now, the guy's still not replied to my e-mails so I don't know if thats a good or bad sign.

Woo-Hoo u got 1 :D

Not yet sweety, the guy thinks he's going to damage it taking it off the bootlid so won't do it which means I eaither have to go to Birmingham and try and get it off myself, he sends the entire bootlid which'll cost a fourtune, or I get my money back and cry for a week and start looking again

Very nice, it'd look sweet with black calipers and chrome or silver stickers ;)

Damm thought you'd like them Andy so have sent you a box full :P

your onto me matey was talkin them down so I could buy them all thinking of making a spoiler out of them looks like it's the only way i'll get one

Yeah matey spoiler only, not bothered about it getting scratched as that can be painted, but the spoilers still on the boot lid in Birmingham and the seller thinks he'll damage it getting it off, trying to sort it out with him even if it means getting the whole boot lid and taking the spoiler off myself but at the mo not very hopefull, I think it'll be pretty straight forward.

The thing is it's from a breakers so I don't think the bootlids still intact otherwise he would have tried to sell the whole lot.

I took mine off, like others suggested cud be cheaper to buy the whole bootlid an spray. When you take all the sealent off there are 3 or so screw holes as well, which of course are going to need filling in as well... Then you need the whole bootlid spraying :D

It was my spolier in the link lol ;) just looked

How hard can it be to take a spoiler off? did you have much trouble with yours Chris I know it's a different type but they must all be glued on the same, if it's bolted on by 3 bolts then it really doesn't need super strong glue aswell surely please someone give me some hope

Just seen these, how to have a chavtastic Lex, just need a full Burberry retrim and it's happy days

i have the hoop spoiler with the light in it, i wired it up to the centre light in the rear window, it works fine but when i removed the bulb from the rear window light i get the brake warnign light come up on the dash, so either i have 2 rear centre lights or have to put up with the brake waning light on all the time...

Give the bulb out of the window light a good shake to break the filiment then put it back in I think the warning light only comes on when it's removed not when it's broken, might be wrong tho.
