Euro Spoiler |
Article by Chuck |
| Following are the pictures that were taken for me by the
body shop. I was not allowed in to view the procedure. First of all, I purchased the spoiler from MG Racing. Cost of the spoiler was $251.75. UPS charges were $10.25. Cost of the painting and installation of the spoiler was $223.00. This included primer and color matching for a total of $485.00.Picture mvc007 is the spoiler right out of the box from MG Racing, black fiberglass wrapped in bubble wrap. Picture mvc008 is of the installation hardware which included 4 bolts, 4 nuts, 4 flat washers, and 4 lock washers. Picture 002 shows my baby all torn apart, They had to remove the rear bumper cover, the tail lights, and the black cover over the muffler. The lights had to be removed to get to the underside of the cover in order to bolt the spoiler to the bumper cover. Picture mvc004 shows the placement of the spoiler according to the curves of the bumper and the curve of the underside of the spoiler. This is the only place that it will mount to assure proper installation with no gaps between the two surfaces. This picture also shows the markings for the drill holes which was done by measuring the holes on the spoiler and transferring them to the bumper cover, and the green tape outlines the position of the spoiler. Picture mvc005 Shows the epoxy around the drill holes that was used to glue the spoiler to the cover. Picture mvc007 shows the bolts on the inside of the cover used to lock the spoiler in place. Picture 006 Shows the spoiler installed on the bumper, this was left this way for 24 hrs. to set up and was reinstalled on the car the next day. The rest of the pictures show the finished product. |
