    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.
    IT'S STARTING TO WIND ME UP.

    Thanks Viking
    If It Was Metal I Would Have Welded It On By Now,that How Much Its Doing My Head In.
    It's Probably Dead Simple To Fit But With Not Seeing One It Makes It A Bit Confusing.
    Cheers

    They do fit on around the hinges,from memory I think the L&R are from the back of the car looking forward. If you dont have ny get yourself some of them double sided sticky pads used for sticking number plates on, use these to stick the spoiler to the tailgate/glass area as well as the brackets to stop any unwanted movement. If our really stuck I could take some pics for you.

    Hi Tomcat
    Thanks For The Info, So The Bolts For The Tailgate Don't Actually Hold The Spoiler On. Brackets Just Fit Around Hinges To Stop It From Flying Off At High Speeds.
    I Will GO Out And Have Another Look
    Cheers

    I think they work in combination with each other, if you look on the underside of the spoiler you'll see two slat spots on each side, this is where the sticky pads go.

    hi tomcat
    i've sorted it you were right they just hook around the hinges used some double sided tape (better than BLUE PETER stuff) to keep it in place.
    happy now its on i think it finishes the car off.
    cheers for your help.
