I bought a replacement and last weekend I fitted it. The old one was very difficult to remove. I ended up cutting it into pretty small pieces and then prying the pieces off. The glue which had been used was really tough to get off. I am very happy with the result! The replacement spoiler was purchased from Ernicks Fibreglass in Tarren Point - 0431 743 467 It is an exact copy of the original and fit perfectly and Ernie was good to deal with as well, so I would be happy to refer people.

And washed @Puffwagon's car. It was a team effort to wash both, of course... bloody hot day to be doing it, but the result was worth it, after the car was covered in all sorts of road-trip-grime and Puff's a bit covered in crap after he decided to show Kelli and I the sights around his town, down a dirt road! haha. Good to spend some time up here in Adelaide Cheers for the hospitality to myself, Kelli and our two dogs , Puffster & Family... Puff also lended some mechanical help haha... had neglected my car a bit in lieu of the house purchase/after-purchase-work and found a few issues Dump pipe was only held on by one nut! and there was 2 studs missing of the 5, the 4th one pictured is one spare that Puff had haha Puff found some bolts with the same thread, which were too long, so out comes the angle grinder and the bench grinder to cut them to the right length and then to clean up the cuts haha... now the dump pipe is nicely tight and hopefully won't come loose again so easily... oops... Funnily enough, most of my exhaust manifold and turbo-to-manifold bolts/nuts were loose, too... torque'd 'em all up, as well. Fiddly bastard to get a spanner on some of those, as anybody who's had a go at those can attest And to top it all off, found a loose bolt for the exhaust housing of the turbo; luckily it was the one where the oil drain is otherwise this probably would have backed itself out all of the way and be on the road somewhere... All this "loose" stuff, was probably caused by this damage to the impeller blades Amazing that the turbo is still holding together and making reasonable boost amongst all of those vibrations it'd probably be causing with that sort of damage... still no shaft play and the blades aren't touching the side of the housing, either, so... got some time before the turbo will need some work haha Also had only the front-passenger-side down to metal-on-metal; another oops... not so bad on the front-driver-side, interestingly... new pads and discs today are on the agenda. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
