Anyone one able to help me? trying to find out the material of the mk1 and 2 spoiler as mine has a tear and soaks up the water causing it to tear more sm2 so ive taken it off at the moment and got in the house to dry out and i want to try and seal it up but im scared glues and products like jb weld might burn through it and have a reaction but if i can find out the material i can search the web for some sealant.
cheers theo

I'd say rubber sealant would do the trick. Its a foamy rubber texture to the spoiler i'd say personally. added benefit of rubber sealant not really reacting with anything either

for mine, i origionally used 1mm thick number plate sticky sponge. Then went to the 6mm thick stuff, alot better. My spoiler isnt pulling up so much anymore! :D

thats very clean. YOur chrome trim looks alot better than mine! you by any chance bidding on some lowering springs on ebay atm? -3", might be a bit too much of a drop on those wheels, but still cheap.

Its weird, theres conveniently a couple of lowering bits on the bay at the mo, and your wanting to lower it. :shock:

Cheers, and yeah I'm bidding on those springs and some blocks but I won't bid to high I'll only give it ago of they stay cheap because I would rather support dai but saying that I've notice they've used dais picture of the blocks so could be him I guess? And yeah 3 inches would be a bit low for those wheels I would have to put my leos on which I do prefer. I want to drop it 2 all round really.

I see you've got a load of stuff of dai what did you get?
