Gents I now have the front spoiler but how does it mount to the bottom of my car? Yep I have the bracket.

The bracket mounts via the front bonnet bolts. You then need a section of 8mm threaded bolt, I got mine from B&Q. This goes from the bracket down through your splitter.

Cool I have the bolt so I guess it should be a straight forward job!

for an unskilled person like me how long would it take on average to put this spoiler on?

my 2nd question for a professional person (tvr specialists) how long will it take?

Mmm....it's not so much technical, but having the tools to do it. You'll need to have the car on a ramp or jacked up. Remove both bonnets, you'll need to drill a hole from the underside to get the threaded bolt through. Make sure you have some sort of spreader underneath to spread the securing area, I have a bar with a single nut on the threaded bolt, then a nut either end to secure the bar, then as many self tapping screws as possible underneath the splitter to secure it to the car. The splitter takes some extreme pressure and a single securing bolt wouldnt hold.

Many thanks for the info, this gives me a good idea as I feel I do not have the tools to do a proper job. I will get the garage to put it on. Thanks again
