Okey dokey.

Got it today mate, thanks, my mate George will be well sorted for D10 at the clog this weekend.

When you remove the upper inner panel (just pops off)


you should spot the holes for it. there not drilled but they are like dimples in the sheet metal.

I hope my roofrails aren't in the way.

Depends on where your roof rails are secured, and what type of spoiler you've got.



This is my set up, the spoiler is a roughtrax one.

What! are you saying that Surfs don’t come as standard with a rear spoiler

Couldn’t imagine mne without one, it would look weird.

Well after pulling down the rear trim i was pretty confident i knew where to drill all the holes, as people have said the worst part was drilling the 30mm one for the 3rd brake light. phew it all went ok so i thought i'd show the results.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Excellent!

I bet you're well chuffed.

lovely so wot size drill bits do i need?

[RodLeach]

Very nice!

They do look so much better with the spoiler. Plus rain never seems to get on the rear window with one!

Just trial fitted mine (Same spoiler) and my roofrails are in the way!!!

I fitted my rails as far back as possible so any loads would be over the L/C springs. A little fettling is gonna be requiered methinks.

I used a small drill bit to start with, i cant remember which size, was something like 3mm then used a 6.5 to drill the hole bigger... id masked over where i was going to drill so to help prevent the bit moving. to locate the hole i pressed from the inside out with one of those screwdrivers with a point ( lol i cant remember what there called) just to make a slight dent i could see from the outside. Then when it came to the large one i used the same smaller drills, but then used a 30mm cutter to get the cable through
- touched up the paintwork with a bit of touchup and then squeezed a bit of sillocone round when i located the spoiler for the last time.
(i did a couple of test fits to malke sure i was going in the right direction as i was drilling)

glad it fits ok and at least you saved me a job of trying to clamber in the back of the breakers to get pics

think i'm gonna be a bit diffrent and leave mine black,i think a black spoiler will look ok on green??

yeh i think that'd look ok. or maybe even spray it satin black to match the window surround and other black bits on the car, the paints cheap from halfords and its really easy to get a good finish.
