bootless, the moment of truth was just around the corner

[Jager King]

it fitted!




spoiler back on for now



fair to say i was chuffed and had a good sleep that night

[Jager King]

The next day was spent tidying up the wires and feeding through / finishing off the new loom.

Much better.



Fitted the plastics back on / spoiler and jobs done!

One of the RS guys i have on facebook has bought and fitted the WRC spoiler (crazy huge awesome looking spoiler!) lol and said i can have his RS spoiler.

He's coming up to Scotland to visit Sitech Racing on the 29th Oct, so all going well, i'll meet up with him then.

[Jager King]

Wow should look good you must put up some pictures when's it's together

yeah will keep it updated

[salsheikh]

Steven, I'm well impressed and well jealous of what your about to achieve. Are you planning to fit the RS bonnet vents too? I put some on mine (copies), there is a thread knocking about somewhere.

[Jager King]

Yes mate, I was going to get the copies too on ebay but was told to buy genuine as the heat deforms them... Have you had any problems with yours? As there is a big difference from £45 to £200 lol

[gumpy321]

Well done, keep up the good work. I'll be watching this thread for more updates...

Looks excellent mate welcome to the forum,
I never knew the 5 door st hatch rear spoiler was different to the 3 door st hatch rear spoiler.
And are you keeping it electric orange when fitting the RS body?

[Preee]

Wow , very nice and it will look amazing when its all finished , welcome to FOC

[Jager King]

Thanks for the welcomes

Neither did I Lenny, the 5 door one looked to be just the same as the zetec spoiler / brake light.

Yes keeping it E.O

[Haz93]

The ST spoiler is the same on 3 and 5 door models, the one on the boot you purchased is the standard facelift spoiler painted orange, the previous owner must not have liked the ST one

Nice car btw

[Jager King]

Nah, this was fitted from the factory. The ST was a LHD.
Maybe they put on a different spoiler in other countries.. I don't know but i used a picture off google to show the exact one in EO fitted with a 5 door ST.

not had a problem with mine at all. i got them from rsparts on the stowners forum but he sells them on ebay too. Not heard of any deforming, I will ask on the other forum. there are carbon ones on ebay btw and someone on the 'other' forum is selling a carbon bonnet - new.

[Jager King]

That's good news! I seen carbon ones on there for £99, my friend just bought ones for £199

I might get some from RS parts then. How did you fix them on as I take it they won't have the parts for the clips underneath.
