i put really strong glue like no more nails round all my bolts to stop water getting to them (after i de rsuted them) this forms a water proof seal round the bolts and helps stick the spoiler as i ddint want to use rivets ! i filled the holes in the edn with fibreglass stuff and painted over it :grin:

took my car to the local ford dealer and got the body shop to fit the upper and lower spoilers for me cost me £40 to do it!

That included the bolt holes being drilled and rivits and nuts for the lower spoiler bolts, bargin in my book!!
