zabe_1 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hey guys Noticed the weirdest thing today, came back from a drive and the rear veilside spoiler was literall hanging off away from the car, only the last half of it was keeping it on the car. Obviously this wasnt safe so i decided to take if off which was with relatively easy, im just wondering what caused it to loosen to the point of a safety hazard even/ I have recently isntalled 2 type r's, my spoiler was a tad loose when i first got, is it possible that all the bass has somehow caused the screws to slowly over time loosen and hence cause the slighlty loose spoiler to become one that was struggling to stay on. ANyway now the spoiler is off, the spoilerless look has sort of taken my interest. Looks very classy anyway can any garage refit the spoiler or shud i take it to a specialist, anywhere recommended in glasgow area. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 im just wondering what caused it to loosen Something Holy and pure! Sorry not much help here, I assume that the Veilside fits using the stock bolts? (Never seen one in person do don't know to be honest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 There are only 4 bolts that hold the spoiler on! You will need the absolute minimum of mechanical skill to re-fit this yourself (if nothing's broken) to save paying a garage. Use Loctite if you are worried it might happen again.

zabe_1 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 they seem to screw from underneath, do i get to this from the boot by taking a few of panels off, is loctite glue which will keep the spoiler fixed to it for good, this would be a good idea i think as the bass does give a good thump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Use Loctite if you are worried it might happen again. But Loctite will make it more difficult to remove when he comes to his senses.

Whip them off and burn the spoiler, job's a goodun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Use a couple of spring washers to stop the nuts loosening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Just leave it off and take it to JAE next year as a picnic table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabe_1 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 im really thinkin gof taking it off now and the rear view is a big difference with and without spoiler too, how easy wud it be to get the holed filled up, will i have to get the whole back bit resprayed or be ok just getting them to use tocuh up paint etc does look a lot classier without it and i think it'd look better for when i start my graduate job next month, how much does a veisilder spoiler go for these days if i sold it lol tell me more than a picnic table at least hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Now that the veilside spoiler is of, order a TRD CF replica spoiler from Nic. They are the best looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think it was divine intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think it was divine intervention. Yup, an act of God or some other supreme being, who believes that the Veilside wing is not a wing, but a table, a very big table, a very big ugly table, a very big ugly table that can double as a small boat.

wkdtime Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 If your going wingless, then use rubber gormets to cover the wholes for now unless your certain you'll never go back to a wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
