Bought a new spoiler, any pointers on fitting?
Discussion
I have bought a spoiler from the fish, any pointers on fitting and any good places in the kent area that are good at spraying...
This is the one I got.

The fish drilled my holes, but its not rocket science - they go in pre determined holes you can see on the inside of the boot lid. All you'll need is a chock block or similar as you will need to cut the end off OEM plug which is in the boot lid (for the LED brake light) - and connect to new loom end. From memory you do need to cut as it won't fit through the holes.... It all makes sense when its in front of you!
You will also have 3 adhesive pads to stop the spoiler scratching the paint (better than the vxr flappy middle support as this spoiler is bolted down) obviously don't remove backing untill final fitting! Fits in 1/2 an hour for the uninitiated...

dont remember cutting the block off when I did mine, pretty sure I just drilled a big enough hole in middle of boot for the wires to drop through from spoiler and it plugged into the existing loom inside the bootlid. Easy job to fit though I bought a "spare" bootlid from a breaker that had a dent in it and had the local bodyshop fix it and spray both the boot and spoiler. Got it back, drilled out the holes and mounted the complete thing in place of the stock boot. Easier if you drill holes but dont fit spoiler until you've got the bootlid bolted in place, spoiler does add a fair bit to the weight otherwise. You may find the stock lifters struggle a little with the extra weight, know mine certainly do so I have to be a lot more careful how I open boot to make sure it doesnt swing back down and clout me on the head.

Like i said, the fish cut the holes and told me to cut te loom as i recall. but i suppose if you casn enlarge hole and get the wiring though, then even better.
Good point about the weight of it, you do need to "catch" it on its way down... Good to hold the back end down though ( weight, not aero downforce!
