I have a Cord No-drill rear spoiler, its the one that fits into the rear brake light and curves around the boot, it probably comes about 20cm out from the boot.

The one i have is silver, (came off Doodle), but i want it sprayed black.

How much do you reckon is a fair price to get this done?

Here is a photo of it on Doodle so u have an idea of the size...

If that was me, I'd charge £130/150. It would be like glass too!

LOL, and when i get my suspension de-clunked! :D Im getting very IMPATIENT, about getting my wheels on i dont want to put them on before the car goes in to get the suspension sorted cos im afraid they will say the warrenty is invalid due to aftermarket wheels :-/

Take the bolts out and drive him down the road - it's sure to come off then ;)

If he needs any work doing, just put the old wheels back on :)

Did you get the noise sorted?

LOL, funny you should say about taking the bolts out...may just have done that by accident and had to pull over on the motorway to do them up again.... :o

Well the noise, thats what he is going in for a week Thursday, the braking noise has kinda stopped, but the suspension clunking is still there, i think its just worn bushes, but they are getting done under warranty cos its been like it pretty much since i had the car :(

Oopsies!!!! That could have been a bit scary!

Hmmm, hope they fix the problem! Glad it's a week Thursday, cos if you took him in this Thurs he'd probably do a Robbie and they'd want to keep him till Monday! ;D
