How easy is it to fit an aero spoiler?

It's actually very easy, it doesn't involve any drilling, just glue.

When you buy the spoiler from the dealer it comes with the glue and solvent to clean the paint before using the glue. Make sure you have a huge supply of PVC tape and a competent friend, near to hand, with a pair of scissors ready to apply it!

Cleaning the paint is easy! Then squeeze the glue from the tube (it's like black tooth paste and sits in a groove on the underside of the spoiler). It's important to leave a 3" gap in the glue just above where the top brake light sits. You should use ALL of the glue in the tube.

Take a deep breath and then stick it on the car. It will take about 24 hours to harden, so use the tape (lots of tape, along the whole length of the roof ideally!) to hold it firmly in place for 24 hours. The instructions will say that you should leave it for about 3 days before using a rollover car wash, I would recommend not using a roll over car wash for at least 20 years, preferably much longer

It's really quite a fun job, but it needs lots of confidence and (preferably) some shelter to leave the car in for 24 hours. If you are short of either, book it into the dealers where they will charge you about £70 to do the job.

I hope that helps.

cool, that clears that up for me.

Havn't got a dry space though

Il have to get the dealer to do it i guess.

I dry space isnt that important. The dealer fitted mine about 2 years ago and i took it in at 1pm and they rang me to come and collect it at 2pm. so long as it doesnt rain while you are fitting it you will be fine.
