Title: mounting brackets on rubber spoilers
Post by: kiwi-mick on April 17, 2010, 07:32:07 AM
hi all anyone know if the metal plates on the rubber spoiler are removable and more to the point can you still buy them?
or is it fabrication time?
cheers

if so, they are bonded in and I doubt you will be able to buy them separately....

whats under that black electrical insulation tape mate?
I\'d be happy to pay £20 for a perfect one or £5 for one plastic clip which would make the one i have now near perfect but i think they are the same ones missing off yours:(
the one i got on now is pretty good just between speaker hole and screw one plastic clip is missing(which is whats bothering me a few mills gap) all the moulded studs are rust free though.
cheers

the tape was on there as my holes were rusting on the car so it was to seal it a bit better as it was leaking in side the boot there is just on plastic clip missing and one of the end screw can just send you the bits you want eg clip and screw?
but prety sure there is no rust on the whole thing
