Hi Guys

you may or may not agree with this but it fixed a problem thats been bugging me for ages.

I have some lets say 'poor paintwork' on my rear end and Mark at ROC spares gave me this idea so cant take all the credit.

Think this was a poor paint job but may have just been the sun thats bubbled the lacquer, tried tcut, polish everything but wont go away!

Anyway couldn't afford to respray it, so Mark suggested to put some vinyl over the top of it.

Thought this was a great idea so got my self 1metre of black vinyl from viperstripes on ebay for about £2/£3 and just stuck it on.

I think it makes the spoiler stand out more, looks almost detached from the window now.

It needs redoing as didnt manage to get the spoiler off and has a few small bubbles in it.

With the spoiler off this would be a doddle to do.

Let me know what you all think.

Cheers

James

not too bad, just wish i'd had a little more time on my hands. really need to get the spolier off to do a good job but an hour lunch break with basic tools wasnt the best idea i've ever had.

will have another go soon.

any one know how to remove spolier completely? undid all for screws/bolts underneath but just wont come off!

Its needs a bit of force to be removed. It puzzled my alittle why it wouldnt come away when i undid all the bolts.
