I doesn't take much if you have a random orbit sander, then £6.49 for a can of plastic primer, saves ££££'s.  Mine are finished but I can't post any pictures until the 20th as I've exceeded my bandwidth on photobucket........ :sick:

Do they fit ok? See you was worried about them being from my 3 door and yours is a 5  :surprised: Got them ready to paint or all sprayed up and ready to fit now?  :party:

All finished buddy, I'm 90% sure they will be okay, the only concern I have is the fin part sits away from the body when the ends are secured, I just hope the tape I've fitted will be strong enough.  Once my usage resets on Photobucket, I will update my build thread.

On another subject the spoiler insert is on, I did need all the z clips to fit.

Yeah was the same when i fitted my new ones but so far so good with the tape holding fine a week later  :happy2: as far as i could see when re fitting as long as the ends line up ok and secure ok underneath its just a case of whether the fin will clear your rear doors i guess  :confused:

Good job i bunged all the clips in the envelope then  :signLOL:
