Delboy52 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Removed all the bolts as I'm taking the rear wing off and found that the wing has been re-enforced with bitumen sealant. This stuff is incredibly strong. Any suggestions how to remove it? It's the same stuff used to hold the headlight lenses on and that needed baking in an oven to soften it up.

Delboy52 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 My next attempt was going to involve a hair dryer.. I hadn't thought of using a wire cutter at all. Thanks Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sounds like sikaflex 221 and if it is heat will do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 A cheap cheese wire cutter or strong fishing line etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 That wire cutter is an excellent bit of kit. Managed to saw through solid bitmumin without damaging the car or the wing. The Do-Luck Type1 has now been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) What are you going for instead, I actually thought about this spoiler for mine for quite a while, still like it, but must give no rear vision at all Edited February 24, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Worth a few quid that spoiler, would have been fortunes new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 They are still really pricey new. This one is for Ashbuster who just bought the whole Do-Luck kit, apart from the wing. Visibility is not too bad in the rear view mirror. Can see over it, or under it with a slight stretch or curl of the spine I really wanted the Greddy wing but it is about $700 new. Got an OEM one from M_Life waiting to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
