suprandi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Need a bit of help with my active spoiler.Putting the car back on the road for the summer and have a few shows lined up so i'm getting it ready.The problem is the active spoiler is bent inwards in the middle and usually just leave up,but this year i want to do something about it.Can this be fixed with a heat gun and bending it back into position or do i need to replace it.Any advice on this would be much appreciated:thumbs: Edited April 4, 2011 by suprandi (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Try and fix it as you suggested first, then if you are not satisfied with the result, replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprandi Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Had a better look at the spoiler and it looks the bracket is bent too,also found out the spoiler itself is made of silicon not plastic.Pics below of the damage.Not sure if the heat gun would have the same effect on silicon?need diy suggestions on how to fix the bracket,please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Take it out, strip it down and carefully beat it straight, you may need to renew most of the fixings too. Or just replace it. With the bar back to the correct shape, the spoiler then should be also. Edited April 12, 2011 by David P (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
