when they get a cutting compound, harsher version of T-cut and go over the whole car. Brings the colour back to life and will match the spoiler. Not sure on price but its worth doing.

You should get a black plastic bit that goes underneath the spoiler. That then has fitting points on it to be mounted to the car.
If you cant be arsed with screws/bolts then use tiger seal on it and should stay on the car.

I put tip-ex on the end of my bolts and 2 of us positioned the spoiler on the boot wher it would sit then drilled the holes from the tip-ex left on the boot and hey presto!

Now i've got the fixing plate so will be doing it correctly on my new boot, but the previous way has not moved for about 2 years

no bad place in kirkcaldy, prices from £60..

going to put mine in.

Will last as it's restoring the paint so if you keep up the polishing will last well....

Really a hard core T cut that all it is...
