Hi, I recently bought a Prodrive spoiler already in the right colour for my car, although it is scratched but I will deal with that later, how do I fit it?

I want to put it on a bootlid that isn't fitted to my car yet. Hopefully this will make it easier for me.

normally a good glue like sikaflex

Yep i used sikaflex and strong tape to secure it ... some pics to give you an idea

How long did you have to leave it to dry?

I left it over night .... seemed very very very well bonded the next morning to me

This is my scratched prodrive spoiler, but not complaining as it was flippin cheap.

From the factory they had a strip of body trim tape and two screws.

Which sikaflex did you use? As I have only ever known about Sikaflex 518 for caravan sealing lol

Later ones didnt.The one I removed from an 02 Elite a few weeks ago was held on by black sealant and no screws or tape.

I cant remember which one i used ... i just went to my local bodyshop and bought a tube of them .

And im sure its only the Irmscher spoilers that have screws .
My Pro-Drive didnt have screws either

Thanks for all the info, and I am sure there are few relieved people on here that will be happy I went for the standard lip spoiler instead of the proper boot spoiler I wanted 

But it was down to opportunism and money as I think my Omega looks ridiculous without a spoiler.

But I am happy with the result but I am going to get the Prodrive / Irmscher rear bumper next after I have sorted the mechanics of my baby out. And then I will change the sideskirts, and then get a front bumper with headlight washers on it.

you could also use Tiger-Seal for the bond,available in Black,white and Grey

Sikaflex 255 is the stuff to use mate!

[car-nut]

Thank you for all your help and advice, it is greatly appreciated. 

My other half isn't too happy with me as screwfix have got Sikaflex 255 for £7.49 which I have asked my other half to get tonight 

So I will be fitting the spoiler tomorrow or maybe even later tonight after I have dragged myself round Tesco for my monthly food shop  I hate doing the shopping now cos of my problems
