you just need to bond it on the boot with some tiger seal mate, If you aint got a clue then you should let some one do it.

Hello mate.
I just live in whitley bay, not far from you :wink: and if ya want it painting and fitting then i'll do it for ya if ya would like? But remember if ya tiger seal it on ya need to let it set which takes about 24 hrs.
What colour is it?

most people tiger seal it on then gove it a good few layers of masking tape just to support it while it dries!
The best way is too take of the boot panel but obv this isn't always an option cos ur car would need to be in a garage while the panel is off! And not everyone would feel comfortable taking it off!

theres 2 ways - if it didnt come with a spoiler then your back glass window is probably free from any holes - if you were to take this spoiler off a c2 with the VT kit then there is holes in the glass where it screws on.
1st most common option is to remove the screws from the spoiler ift they are still thre and then tiger seal it on
2nd option is to replace the glass, but its not worth it.
just gives you an insight of what you can do, but tiger seal FTW!!

Well if ya tiger seal it on it really should'nt come off after 3-4 hours but its recommended 24 hours.
If ya want i can paint it? and you can tiger seal it on. if ya fitted it in the evening and don't use the car again until the morning ya will be fine. :wink:
Have ya had a quote to paint it? :wink:

Well i can paint it for £35, that includes me supplying all the materials.
is it brand new or has it off another car?
as for fitting, i could do that for a further £20 using tiger seal. but to be honest ya could easily do that ya self. :wink:
what do ya think?

I think if you take your time with this you could do it by yourself even if you havnt got a clue. will save you abit of cash.

Ya right, but the thing is he could spend £25 at least buying all the materials then balls it up right at the last step of painting, then have to pay someone do properly for him!
I'm not bothered he wants to do it him self, he can. but i'm willing to do it properly for very cheap. :D

i'm not qualified but i have a hell of a lot of experiance and i do have access to a proper both if i need to paint anything big 8) i'm going my mates full car (except the roof) there in a same colour respray in 2 weeks time.
I do just use rattle cans for little jobs, if ya do it properly the finish is 100%, no differance!
Infact, have a look at my mirror caps i done, there on here somewhere.
What ya want done? :wink:
