How difficult is it to fit springs then? Bearing in mind I'm no mechanic, scared of buggering it up if I tried to fit them myself

Pi Spoiler that was going cheap on CC|UK.

Was ideally after a SRi or Irmy one but this popped up so snapped it up

If it looks crap it will be binned and an SRi one sourced

I'd probably give it a go if I had a trolley jack, axle stands, and spring compressors!

I was going to pay £50 for them to be fitted though, yes it's more than if I was to do it myself, but then I'm not confident doing it either!

Only Pic I could find of spoiler on a car:



Bit more square than the Irmy or SRi but should look ok - isn't too big which is good

No I hadnt seen it before either. Only reservation is that its on a kinda chavvy (imo) car in that pic, so hope it doesnt look too OTT on mine when I fit it

Looks like a pretty subtle spoiler to me... think it will be an improvement on yours Rich.

P.S. Wouldn't call that car chavvy myself
