Removing front spoiler
Could somebody tell me how the front spoiler is fixed to the front of the turbo models?<br><br>It'll make life easier for me if I know what tools to take to the scrapyard rather than the whole tool box!<br><br>And will it be a straight forward swap to take it off a turbo and put it on my ES?<br><br>THANKS! <p></p><i></i>

Front spoiler
Are you talking about the whole bit with the grille, fog lights and all, or are you only referring to the lowest forward slanting "lip"?<br>I can only help you with the one immediately below the bumper - AFAIK it's only mounted with rather large pozi/Phillips type screws and then around 4 bolts (size10) that connects it to the shield under the engine. The bolts are usually no problem but the pozi/Phillips ar quite usually quite rusted. You need to remove the foglights too, they are connected both to the car and the spoiler. I think there's a temperature probe or something mounted in the spoiler/grille as well.<br>Fit should be the same between turbo and ES.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Re: Front spoiler
The spoiler is fitted with screws... easy to dismount, you don't have to dismount the foglights... not on my cars anyway... <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Real power and Turbo-shit</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br><br><br></p><i></i>

OK, thanks guys. When I eventually find a turbo i'll take my screwdrivers and a big tin of WD40.<br><br>I spend the other day going round every scrapyard I knew of but I could only find ES models so the search for a spoiler goes on. Got a few goodies though so I suppose it was worth it. <p></p><i></i>
