OK, I've started to replace my spoiler this morning, but as usuall rain stopped play :mad:

 

The removal of the old one went as according to plan as it could of, considering I wasn't sure how it was attached :D

First a pic of what it used to look like;

 

 

Centre trim panel was removed from the inside, followed by the two rubber strips, one down each side.

Four bolts held the main part inplace, two of which were hidden under the boot-lid bump-stop rubbers. Two of the holes can be seen in this pic, from the outside;

 

 

Once this was removed, the centre panel could be removed. This was acheived by un-doing four nuts from the inside of the boot lid, captive bolts are held into the spoiler fill panel.

This pic shows the OEM Spolier fixing holes in Blue and the new additional hols in Red;

 

 

Once all was off the car, I gave the OEM one a trial fit;

 

 

As you can see from here some cleaning will be required;

 

 

All of the boot lid will be cleaned, and any redundant holes will be sealed before the OEM spoiler can be fitted, also the spoiler requires painting, as silver on red just doesn't look right :D

Some additional pics;

 

 

 

 

 

Who's buying the spoiler then Dave???

 

Matty.

Matty.

 

The spoiler was sold the day I came up with the idea :D In fact it was only an idea at the time.

SUFFOLKZX will be the new proud owner, just PM'd him to let him know it's ready for collection :D

LOL............quick deal then.......it's a nice spoiler..

 

I'm guessing you prefer the stock look then?!

 

Matty.

Yeah, before I brought my Zed I was wondering whether to have one with stock or go for a medium height spoiler, as I'm not keen on the real high ones. But when I saw this one I liked it, but I do like the stock look better.

This will look real nice with my new '99 look rear, complete with EL centre panel :D

Hi Dave, I will have to keep this thread might help me with fitting the spoiler to mine, good luck with the rest of the work, I will be seeing you soon, Richard.

It's not bubbles, but where it's been prised off the other car, I'm told it should 'Heat' out, as there is no cracking or bubbling at all on it. Apart from the rippling, it's in good nick.

 

Additional ----- I've just been out to wash off the grime, and I've found a problem, the front edge of the old spolier is further forward than the stock one. Over the time the other one has been on, it's rubbed on the paintwork and scratched it :( So this is starting to look like a bigger job than before.................. bugger.

Good luck dave, I must admit, I share your opinion on the spoilers....

 

Still waiting to see you in about in Grantham, I drive through regulaly, infact I will be in town to pick the missus up about 5!

 

A grey jap zed drove straight by me in Melton Town today and diddnt even wave!!!! First time thats happened. He just kept looking forward looking cool even though mine looks better!! #:p

oh ok, good luck with it, u gonna do it urself or a bodyshop?

 

yaseen

 

PS good choice of spoiler :D

It's looking like it'll have to go to a bodyshop, as the boot lid will require attention now :( More bloody expense. As i've got a little mini sprayer, I was going to give it a try myself, but I'm not tackling the lid as well.

Welcome to the 'clear' world...... :)

 

:D

 

Matty.

 

And eventually it may even get a '99 spec front as well :D Saw one on a Zed the same colour as mine on the Z1 site the other day, looks very cool :D

Cool...........but have you seen the 'mod' that kirbs did to his stock front end?? That looks cool too, without the expense of 'new' bits.

 

:D

Matty.

 

Do you mean this.................

 

 

Yeah, thats radical alright :D :rofl: :rofl:

 

 

 

Nah only joking, it's a nice mod, but I would still like the '99 one

 

TBH I prefer my 99 spec front end to the 'kirbz mod' but his still looks nice.

 

:D

 

.........love the 99 spec front......

 

Matty.

I recently saw shahid's car, which had the same spoiler arrangement that you have just taken off. Have to say i really liked the look.
