Front Spoiler Fitting.
I eventually got round to fitting the rubber front spoiler that Jon introduced to me when he asked me to fit his.
These are the tools I used below, hand drill with 2.5m bit, medium & small Posidrive, & screws,Scissors, can of carb cleaner, rag. 1 Drive car up ramps or jack up on axle stands, spray the underside of the bumper with carb cleaner so its not greasy or dirty, and wipe clean, you could remove the bumper if you so wished, I find it easier working with it on the car. 2 Roll out the spoiler ready to fit to the bumper. 3 From the NS front bumper edge work your way round making sure you follow the lip on the spoiler touching the edge of the bumper. 4 5 You can fit this sitting up i sat on cardboard not the cold floor 6 When you reach the OS front bumper wheel arch cut the spoiler to leave about 5cm hanging over. 7 The hang over will be trimmed at the end of fitting the screws. 8 Double check the spoiler as stuck firmly along the underside of the bumper. 9 To make sure i ran the handle of the medium screwdriver along the full length of the underside of the rubber. 10 My/your next step is to add the 15m posi screws you will need the drill & 2.5m bit. 11 Start again at the OS under the bumper, drill your first hole through the rubber spoiler into the underside of the bumper, if you have an MGZT or R40 with headlight washers be aware of the hoses inside the channel in the bumper. 12 Fit the first screw, i used stainless on the edge as this gets more water on it from the front wheel. 13 Slowly work your way round to the OS in 3" /8cm spaces drill about five holes at a time then add the screws as you go along. 14 15 Adding all the screws as you go. 16 17 Once i reached the OS edge i used another stainless steel screw. 18 I then trimmed any excess from the NS bumper edge. 19 20 Next trim off the excess from the OS bumper edge. 21 Step back and take look to see if you like it 22 Car lowered back to the ground quite happy with the result. 23 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354859416...Bk9SR5KqlNy3Yg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354881239...Cclp%3A2047675

Looking good Steve, I still can’t believe you can get this look for £7.59 what a bargain.
