People are always breaking their spoiler so that the reason why i didn't do a group buy. On the other hand i could have got them slightly cheaper had it been a group buy.

But then that would have been the one and only chance of getting one.

I think your doing it the best way, as you say a group buy has to be done there and then. This way, i know i'll be able to get one later this year. :D

I picked up my spoiler off lee a few weeks ago and i have finally got it fitted, just to let people know they are good quality and they feel a lot tougher then the standard ones. Its an easy job to make your 480 look better just a little bit of sanding and painting and looks heaps better.

Well pay day has arrived...soooooooooo how easy are these things to spray? Never sprayed anything in my life so am clueless! What would I need? And what screws do they require to fit? If I get one am gonna spray it to match the red on my car and think it will look quite good under the black bumper!

Rob

its very easy to spray as long as you dont rush it, that is where the majority of people go wrong is it a solid red or mettallic red on your car? if it is solid it is very easy to do. sand any rough edges off or marks off a couple of thin coats of grey primer then several thin coats of the red and job done if it is mettallic it is slightly different but i think your car is solid red. Then there are about 8 self tapping srews underneath and the holes should alredy be there. Hope this helps

Greta took a trip to the home of the mentally disturbed today.
Not only has she now got a shiny new Carbon Fibre front spoiler which just simply looks fantastic - but she also got her old spoiler expertly removed, bonnet re-aligned and a loving once over from Lee.

Fantastic job mate!
Many thanks and much respect

Photo's will be up soon

Postage is still an issue at the moment.

The only way I can possibly do postage is by buying a roll of corrugated cardboard and just rapping it up. I am willing to attempt doing this however then the cost would be card plus shipping.

If someone in the UK is willing to try this then we can give it ago.

But I cannot guarantee that the spoilers would get there in one piece. I would however do my best on the packaging side of things
