Well if you want the kit then let me know as its only £520 for the 4 pieces, well cheap for whats on offer.

[Retro_Boy_G]

Thanks for the offer dude.. but i honestly couldn\'t afford it at the moment..

Von - The trims will be going back on if its the same trim i\'m thinking of. Do you mean the one that runs right around the car and is usually black on an EGI? If so then yeah it will be going back on.

[Retro_Boy_G]

oh, and in case anyone was wondering how it looked before you will find some pictures here.

interloper: how do you prep the rear spoiler? on my one the paint is flaking off quite badly =( do i need to scrape all the paint off first prior to spraying? or jus get the flakes off and sand down with maybe 600 grade paper then prime and spray?
cheers man

You\'ll find that paint just keeps on flaking man! Its a nightmare! I tried doing Giannis spoiler for his car before Craig got it and it was hell! :reallymad No idea how Craig has managed with it.

[Retro_Boy_G]

I\'m pretty sure he is having the same problem with mine unfortunately.. If it keeps happening i might need to look for a new spoiler!

Remember after priming you need to flat it with something like 1000 or 1200 grit so the paint will bind.

[Kron]

Its not quite as conventional as that due to it being vulcanised rubber and not fibreglass. Its got alot of elasticity to it so you need to use a special type of primer.

[interloper393]

the wings kinda like rubber, it flexes n bends for  past time, alot like the bumper... well i sanded it with 40 grit to remove the deulux house paint lol, then plastic primer which flexes, then primer, no idear how its guna turn out, it a prob be ok unless you really push your finger in   time will tell...

[Retro_Boy_G]

It\'s cool, i\'m sure Craig can make me up something awesome with his fibreglass skillz! Infini spoiler.. yes please!

[L18M]

will be good ot see the result b4 i start respraying mine.
Hate the way it is now.. red with a big fat patch of rubber!!

[dthebuk]
