Cup spoiler problem that i need help with........

[c_lee_oh]

I have bought a Cup spoiler for my 172, all sprayed up, but the high level brake light has a different shaped connector loom to plug into, to make it work.

Renault cannot get a light with a round connector (i think the light I have is from either the 182 Cup or Megane 225) so i guess the 172 Cup light had the round connector.

Has anyone come across this problem and how did you get round it, as i can't fit the spoiler until i sort the light out and Renault can't help. Do i get insulated connectors?

Advice is appreciated, cheers.

cheap way = bare both sets of wires & connect them up, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting it right 1st time, make sure the brake light works, wrap a load of insulation tape round them. Peice of pi55.

Use heatshrink + insulation tape if you can as the insulation tape could work its way free causing a short.

Sorry to hijack this thread but ive got one of these sprayed up and want to know how the original come off. I presume its the six screws but is it bonded at all? or does it just need a good whack to come off?

nope not bonded, probably a bit of dirt holding it on still

Yeah it just the six screws and give it a bit of a sharp shove upwards and it'll come off, i've already done this and it comes off quite easily. You'll need an alllun key (probably spelt it wrong but you know what i mean.)
