Milotec WRC rear spoiler fitting

AndyD · 01-02-2008, 15:17

Just got my WRC rear spoiler back form the bodyshop, and realised that new holes need to be drilled in the bootlid to fit it properly

Anyone done this themselves? If so, any tips for marking and drilling the holes? Going to be using Sikaflex too just as an additional bond

Thanks

Andy

Not done this myself, but I would use something on the spoiler holes that would transfer onto the bootlid, like chalk or something sticky/pointy. Just so you know where the holes should be on the top of the lid.

I was just thinking the same thing! Just got to find some chalk or something similar. Wonder if blu-tac would work?

May need a few attempts with the blu-tac, but it's worth a try. I'd measure it three times as well, cos once drilled, there is no turning back

good luck mate, can you post some pics when you finished?

AndyD · 01-02-2008, 16:44

I will post pics as soon as its sorted, going to be tomorrow now as I'm at work this evening!

Should be able to get hold of some chalk from work, so fingers crossed!

you might want to consider bonding it on as well. at 170+ they do take some hammer.

Hence the use of Sikaflex!

I screwed some bolts(with the head cut off) to fit into the spoiler and then lower the spoiler slowly onto the boot using the bolts to make small marks on the boot. Worked a treat on my old Scooby.
