I went with this carbon fibre version with the neat cut out for the centre rear light..useful when being tail gated by midgets…

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Thanks
Was it easy enough to fit or did it need additional sealant

Cheers

Same here, carbon fibre with cutout. See pic in the sig. The black paint took very well, you have to put your nose on the spoiler to see the carbon fibre pattern. Part of the spoiler came unglued on the very first weekend when the carwash folk pushed the car off the rails. Since then, it's been in place beautifully. There was no special needed tools to install it. It cost US$110 p+p included here in America. eBay is your friend.

I've just put on the very same AP lip spoiler as you've shown. Fit was perfect following every contour of the boot perfectly. You will see that on ebay the same seller is selling the same spoiler on two different ads, one £69 and the other £89. I bought the £69 one.

Bin the tape that comes with most of the stuff on eBay and use this:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/scotch-vhb-p ... 19mm/304jj
It's awesome and weatherproof. As it repels water, it stops rain getting under the spoiler and sitting there. Takes a few hours to 'cure' but once on it ain't coming off (nor is the spoiler). :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
