spoiler brackets 850 t5 estate

[petedameat]

Hi to all, new to forum so hello. ive got an 850 t5 estate and i have just brought a spoiler but it didnt have any fixing brackets, could anybody tell me where i can get some and how much. But if they are too expensive or like rocking horse ££££ then has anybody got the dimensions and i will make some of my own. many thanks.
p.s estates should not behave like this but iam glad the t5 does!!!!!!

Go to the main dealers, its not as daft a comment as you might think, the kits readily available and when I bought mine I think I only paid about £12. I wouldnt even attempt to make my own because the brackets are very fiddly, due to them fitting onto the tailgate hinges.

Yep go direct...othrewise you'll end up with a dodgy fit like the one on the back of mine.... it's held on with glue and a self tapper......very messy looking...........

try bonding it too my spoiler always felt a little wobbley so i bonded the mounting surface, feels like part of the car now (sikaflex or similar) available from vehicle paint factors

[Tomcat]

Why would you bother to bond it on when you can get the proper fitting kit for just over a tenner??, doesnt make sense to me

The fitting kit is £30 inc vat i can assure you from the dealers, i know i bought one last year

im lucky cos i dont need to buy new ones for my spoiler,
i know they are quite expensive for a silly bracket,
i was a bit wearry cos iv just cut my
brackets in half,
added a couple of inches & refitted them,
now my spoiler acts like a spoiler instead of a rear screen cleaner,
looks really good,as all 855s have normal spoiler,

if u grab the spoiler and give it a tug the brackets are feeble, as i work in a vehicle bodyshop most aftermarket bodykits are bonded on and they stay on no movment shut the boot on estate and watch the spoiler (wibble would be a good description) so i bonded it on along with the origonal brackets no more wibble. not too much sealent just enough without splurting from under mounting surface
