Just as a sidetrack idea, I have some pieces of thin, brushed
aluminium, which could be cut to size and affixed externally
over the holes, (contact adhesive or somesuch). This is what
I am planning on using to cover the holes in the wheelarches
where the extension arch fixings are. If your interested, I could
pop you some pieces in the post. The pieces are approximately
five inches by one & half inches.

Why did you take your spoiler off? Was the downward pressure at 70MPH making the springs sag or was it just a matter of good taste?

If all else fails, that would probaly be the way to go. I'm going to follow up a couple of leads from Ian619 & sparkya tomorrow, so I'll see what happens then.

Thanks,

Thanks Dave, I'll check it out....

Shab,

I checked this out at work.

8mm blind grommets arent very robust things as a rule - you might be better just popping a dome headed bolt through with a fiber washer on (fibre washers are excellent for stopping wet getting in)

the oval ones I still do not have a solution other than drilling them out to round. I then have some good quality 18-22 or 24-28mm blind grommets. however this sort of grommet will be too flimsy once it is a 32mm hole.

I also have some glandplate blanking plugs. These are plastic plugs used to close up spare cable holes in electrical panels. they tend to come in 20,25,32mm with a special washer fitted they are weathertight and look quite smart. however I can only find small ones, but any good electrical factors should either have them or be able to get them. I should think Cheshire electrical down the end of the road past Soapy Joe's carwash (worrel street?) could get you some, should only be a pund or two.

If you like I'll put one of the small ones in my pocket and take it home, you can take it to look at and see what you think.
