Cup spoiler problem?

[Rob_f]

Hi guys,
Me and my dad atempted to fit my spoiler today, just cant seam to get it to sit right. It either has a 1cm gap from the glass or a 1cm gap from the rest of the car. Any idea what were doing wrong? :S

It's not resting on the water pipe is it?

They have a bit of a gap anyway tbh.

This is the best pic I have atm to show you.

I assume it's a mk2?

Mine was similar-just had to gradually smooth the underside to get rid of a couple of over run highspots from when it was repainted. Just be careful not to overstress it when you re-tighten it.

Decent shot that btw st3ve!

I don't think its the water pipe, we tried to make sure it the pipe sat in the slot. I could post a couple of pictures from my phone to see its the norm?

 

[p@blo]

Have you removed any damaged bits of the pink alignment washers from when you took your old one off? If they're still in the mounting holes could that be fouling it?

They never sit right.

 

[Rob_f]

No I didnt pablo. There quite brital, the 1 has snapped and the other hasnt, I thought it would be better to leave them on for additional suppourt.

Hopefully this shows 3 pictures, this ain't sitting right is it?

Aye fair play-meant that had got left in the actual boot lid? They come out if you twist them (boot side)-when mine was painted some of the overspray had run into the holes (spoiler side), so the little tip wouldnt fit in the actual spoiler side properly.

Have another blast with the photos mate-theyve not worked

There is a gap between the bottom of the spoiler and the glass, is normal.

They are hard to fit right though, I thought mine was ok opened the boot and it rubbed and made a mark on my ph1

Mine doesn't sit perfect. There is a gap between the glass and the spoiler, I assumed this was normal from other posts on here.

Does this work, I have no where else I can upload to?

 

[Beef-Mc]

That reminds me, the first one I had fitted to my clio didn't sit flush either.

 

[Rob_f]

I have mine sitting flush against the glass as I thought it should. It weren't till I screwed it on that I noticed the other gap.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'm not even on FB so can't tell you if it looks right or not.

Re-activated my old photobucket account...

Sorted now, thanks. There is now the customary gap to the glass which has solved the problem. I have tried to get some corrected photos up but my phone wont sync with my email for some reason.

Wightman, did you ever fit the alloys in your project thread, I wan't to see anthracite 182s on that colour?
