Fitting Cup Spoiler to Non-Cupped 182

[Tommy_C]

Is this a simple unbolt small spoiler then bolt cup spoiler on? Any previous experiences appreciated!

Im going to be doing mine in the next week or so, will let you know how it goes

Generally the connectors are different, need to hack off the connector and wire it in that way.

Cheers, so in terms of fixing points it's unscrew one screw on cup one?

i have heard you need the shorter pistons, or hydraulic things when the boot opens, as the spoiler touches the car roof and can dent it. Rumour has it anyway. i did speak to some one who fitted this to a standard one and has noticed a small dent appearing where the boot opens and the spoiler touches the roof. i think they are 63 quid, dont qoute me on that

No problems here, think your thinking of the V6 spoiler.

That's the v6/trophy spoiler mate. Cups just simple swap as far as the fixings go.

6 torx bolts IIRC (im giving away my deep secret by here lol) i was lucky enough for my connectors to be the same for the brake light too, its luck of the draw, some will have to be cut and wired some straight swap
