    rear spoiler build

    here is the build pics of the rear spoiler i built for jamest5r

    rear spoiler as supplied

    conduit screwed on and heated to match curve of spoiler

    another view of conduit and securing screws

    measurements for bending conduit around spoiler

    cuts made with 1mm cutting disc and hacksaw

    ends bent and secured with screws


    spoiler prepared for attachment of conduit with fibreglass filler


    conduit attached...note ends have been added and attached
    this was the messy bit but nothing a good rub with some sandpaper can't cure


    after filling and priming with 2 pack primer

    5 coats of basecoat later


    3 coats of 2 pack laquer later
    just needs final polishing but camera batteries failed
    will try to post finished pics tomorrow
    spoiler built over a 3 day period
    sorry if some of the pics aren't 100% but i'm not david bailey
