as above please chaps

 

An etka pic would be cool if anyone can help out, also normal pictures would help

 

(i think that the VW program is called ETKA isn't)

 

cheers :D

mine just had nut and bolt fittings, in 4 places, 2 at each end/edge and 2 at the front, all 10mm

 

is that what you meant?

im thinking that there is a bit of metal sandwiched between the bumper and the spoiler. My car had never had a spoiler so im just checking what’s needed before my new one arrives

 

So I don’t really know what im looking for but thats sounds promising :-)

uhhh are you talking about this:

 

my standard front

 

 

the spoiler at the bottom?

 

if so it just kinda clips on (with tabs moulded on the spoiler) and then bolts on

 

when I was talking about the 'edge' where you have a bolt, Its pretty much where my very artistic arrow is pointing, the other two at 'the front' are on the corners at the front

[Guest]

here ya go, the inside 'corner' fixings (top hole you can see, on the far left)

 

(plus my fibreglass fix ;))

cool, so basically its just bolted on via the holes in the spoiler, like that one you can see in your second pic?

 

this doesnt sound that hard :-)

there's a strip of metal that the fixings(2 or 3 of them) use at the front(under the bumper

im pretty sure that originally there is a metal plate that allows the use of the self tapping style bolts (no nuts needed then)

 

but sounds like nuts/bolts are fine anyway from what ']['H3R4POR is sayin 8)

 

edit:jesus i was slow typing that!

ok coolieo.....

 

well if anyone can put up an etka pic so i could get the part number (and an idea of shape as i may try and make the thing) that would be great!

 

thanks for the help so far guys :-)

 

edit - sounds good Riley, well i mean to say sounds easy! :lol:

piece of p*ss mate.

 

the plastic clips may take some pursuading to get over/under, but just force them (they won't break, you'll see when you get it).

 

just a 10mm nut and bolt, I had 4 on mine, plus additional holes, so maybe there should have been more.

 

good luck

 

edit: there could have been a plate for self tapping screws, but, the only 'plate' I saw was a sandwiche affair that the plastic clips fitted into, he had to be squeezed together to allow the clips to fit in.

 

my bolts were rusted to hell, so if they did have self tappers they were well gone years before I got the car, and mine was standard throughout when I bought him, so I doubt the good Doctor (yes, It had a doctor owner before me) removed them

yeah it did mate cheers - im just gonna fix it on the way you have much easier

[Guest]

excellent :)

 

I particularly like my skilled MS Paint work I managed to knock out at beer 'o' clock.

 

I just detatched and re-attactched the spoiler the same way as it was fitted when I got my grubby hands on it, and tbh I would prefer nuts and bolts to self tappers.
