Right.
Fitted the cosworth rear waist spolier ( a la CS400 ) that I got off here a few weeks ago.
It was painted in dark gray metallic ( the car colour, obviously ! ) at a local bodyshop and was pretty damn good, for £60.
So out with the instructions.
I took photos so will add them later.
Clean the panel below the window, really should have washed the car first but it's cold and didn't want the adhsive to not stick. Instructions say fit when temp is over 20C .. so not likely in UK then!
Degreased panel with meths ... hmm not sure the paint liked it too much!
The spoiler is held on with 3M adhesive tape at top and botton edges and ends, and 4 studs that need driling in the panel!
So off with the inner boot plastic trim, and found the rear light lenses needed to come off to tighten the studs.
Cut themplate to size and affix to car with the right 1mm margin at the ends and over the Subaru badge on he rear hatch.
DRILL!!!! 2 holes were 10 mm at the ends, 2 were 7mm in the middle... I found out why when offering up the spoiler - as the hatch lid is curved in 2 dimensions, fitting the end stud in made the others be 1/2 inch out... so had to offer up all 4 studs at once and the extra size of the end holes allowed this!
Fitted first go when I realised this!!
I painted through the drilled holes, and put a ring of silicone sealant above them to divert water past the holes ... actually the spoiler has a central drain hole and channel to take rear screen water off and avoid the studs / holes.
Peel off the 3M tape cover, add a blod of silicone to the base of the studs to aid waterproofing, and fit!
Good job I had an 8 mm fine ratchet spanner as there is no direct route for a socket and sod all room for a soanner to tighten the studs / nuts.
All done, and site correctly and looks balanced !
Another good job done, took about 1 1/2 hours including letting the silicone and paint dry.
