Hi,

 

I'm just wondering, has anyone removed the standard rear 'foam rubber' type spoiler?

 

How much damage did it do to the boot lid. And how difficult was it to fit a hoop type spoiler.

 

Cheers

I've done it :)

 

Not that hard tbh and if you're fitting a high level spoiler anyway it does'nt really matter if you damage it slightly as when you take the original spoiler off you are left with holes that need to be filled.

 

There is a guide to taking the old one off somewhere, i'm sure someone will post it for you :)

 

Its just a case of undoing a few bolts and then prying it off as it is stuck down VERY well! Once you've done that, fill in the holes and fit your new spoiler. Respray the tailgate and spoiler and attach a Nissan perspex strip where the brake light was. Or you have fit a tailgate skin if you don't want a perspex strip.

 

HTH :)

Here is a very comprehensive guide for you :)

Oh i see, i suppose it would be a real shame then to remove my cars spoiler, its the only one i've found that isnt bubbling or pealing.

 

So the next question is can i add an additional high rear spoiler without removing the lower one??

 

Cheers

you get left with a back like this below and 2 hole in the side mine have been filled in before it got painted

 

 

and here is a pic of when it had the perspex strip on the back that i havent got

 

 

now iam going for the smooth boot skin thats in my garage ready for some fitting :)
