What did you do to your Mk5 today?

That looks really good. I did think about about doing this to mine.

I was very lucky, the spoiler came off a wrecked Black Magic GTI, so paint was exactly the same as my car, no damage was done to the spoiler during removal either

My panel shop said most body kits are simply glued on these days (which I believe is the case with these spoilers) so I asked him what he uses, so I took his advice and used Sikaflex-227 (Black). You can pick a tube up for $14.50 from Bunnings ($17.95 from Super Cheap).

Once glued down (I used plenty) I taped it down and left it over night, worked a treat

I hope this helps.

Nice. Saves you from getting it resprayed!

Thanks for the info

About time Don.
The lighting makes it hard to see the detail. The brakes look tiny (BBK will fix that), but I think it works.
