So I tried to live with the BGW, some days I loved it and some days I hated it but in the end I decided an OEM wing would look better. Picked one up from a guy on here that needed a bit of love and got to work.
It didn't look too bad in photos but there was a nasty crack running up the leading edge,
Sanding commenced
Once the worst bits had been sanded back and the whole wing had been roughed up it was time for primer, note to self, never buy cheap halfords primer again.
Annoyingly despite using plastic filler some marks from the repairs were still visable
Decided to pick up a couple of cans of U-POL filler primer, obviously more expensive but much better stuff. After a few more coats all the marks had dissapeared. Another sand and time for paint!
This is where painting in a garage with not exactly ideal temperatures sucks, plenty of orange peel on the paint but some more sanding with 1500 and 2000 grit paper followed by a machine polish has improved things.
Hopefully will be back on the car tomorrow with fresh gaskets and bolts, part of me actually likes the spoilerless look though.
As a temporary fix I have plugged the holes left by the BGW with some rubber grommets to keep the rain out. I will get the bodyshop to fill the holes and respray my bootlid and new OEM front bumper at the same time.
Thanks for looking,
Rob
