Fitting a rear spoiler... (Pics inside)

Haha ahhh ouch mate! Feel ya pain there...picture full of fail .

I've found some instructions on the internet, I'll post it here:

Firstly, you ideally need 2 pairs of hands.

Now this is not essential but will make it easier for a first timer. Buy a roll of 2" wide masking tape from any DIY shop. A cheap brand is fine.

Decide just where you want the spoiler and cover that area with a layer of masking tape.

Get your 2nd pair of hands to hold the spoiler down into position while you give it the eyeball from various angles to get it positioned correctly. Once you are sure it is exactly right, get a pencil or biro and carefully draw around each part that is in actual contact with the car.

Lift the spoiler off and you will have your 'template'. With a single edged razor blade or a sharp craft knife carefully, slowly and lightly cut through the tape exactly over your drawn lines and peel off the areas inside those lines.

Turning the spoiler upside down apply a coating of Tigerseal about 3mm thick to the flat contact sections (the bits that you drew around) then with the help of your 2nd pair of hands, and with the spoiler adhesive side down of course, lower the spoiler down exactly into/onto the areas you cut out of the masking tape.

With the 2 of you working a side apiece, gently press the spoiler down into position, wiggling it slightly as you go. Once it appears to be steady with all support areas in contact and it looks correctly positioned, leave it alone to set.

You will have a bead of excess adhesive that has been squeezed out all around the bottom of the spoiler - if you have correctly positioned the spoiler this bead will be sitting on masking tape not on your paintwork. Leave it for about 30 minutes then carefully wet the masking tape, trim it back and remove it.

I would leave the spoiler for 2 or 3 hours before you remove the masking tape, when removing the tape do it slowly and carefully as you dont want to disturb the spoiler.

Ideally you should leave the spoiler for about 12 hours before driving the vehicle.. The tigerseal sets to a stiffish rubbery constistency which absorbs vibrations yet is very tenacious.

Seems about right init?
