So, as you may know, i am attempting to fix a tc4 spoiler on top of a gsi spoiler as shown below
Problem: The rear of an oe gsi spoiler has a small upwards lip in it. Therefore the two legs on the tc4 wont be in full contact with the gsi spoiler. There isnt much leeway on the bottom of the legs to sand down. I feel adding to the legs may be the only option. So how do i go about getting the legs into the correct shape to fit onto this lip????
Pic of mine:
Cheers for reading.

I havent got bolts or anything to attach it as of yet, but i'll likely use some self tapers and some tigerseal ( if i can get some from somewhere!!!).
I'll take a pic of this problem, be up in 2mins.

cant you draw round where it sits recees the gsi spoiler so the new one sits into a bit and screw it that way then it should be stronger? maybee.
body work isnt my strong point but im thowing in all kindsa ideas might work?

is it possible to have some holes made in top spoiler then have them tapped so they have thread then put holes in the gsi spoiler and bolt from underneath recess the bolt and smooth over with filler

Well adam, my first thoughts were to cut s small area out from the rear of the gsi spoiler so that the rear of the legs sit in it, then plaster it with plenty of p40 (fibreglass) from below to hold it in place. However, i think this option would mean that i may have to do some smoothing in around the outside of the legs just above the gsi spoiler.

He only took £300 to do my car, pretty cheap as Joke Gemmell took £300 to paint Moiser's fr bumper & twin headlights on his Cav Sri! Ouch!

Heres the pics, it isnt as bad as i thought it was last night. Looks like i'll need to lengthen the legs, and sand it to the contours of the gsi spoiler. Keep trying till its right.
This is where it sits just now, with no mods to the legs
Think this looks bad????

Could have had it all done already, but silly me went on holiday and decided to wait that extra week or 2 to get everything perfect.
