Spoiler holes
Okay so i purchased a VR spoiler.
Had a quick look at it and it looks as though only two of the bolts will fit in the pre exisiting holes of the stock spoiler. If this is the case, what's the best way to go about drilling 2 new holes? Just get my drill, use an appropriate diameter drill bit and drill away? Fit the bolts in the holes and then tighten with washer and nut?
Also, to fill the old holes, does this need to be done? Only thing i dont want happening is water getting down those old holes? (which might not happen as the Base of the VR covers them).
Probs not making sense as im typing on my iphone in a bouncy car whilst having a convo with someone haha.

Re: Spoiler holes
Ah yeah ofcourse woops
Well looks like my heat gun will come in handy with heating up the old sikaflex and getting it to come free
Okay only thing I'm worried about now is tightening the spoiler too hard and creating dents in the bonnet bahaha. That probably can't even occur

Re: Spoiler holes
I was going to post up last night about the bonnet 
It would be different having a wing on the front, like the Rally cilica's

Re: Spoiler holes
Okay,
So the spolier is now on
Instead of drilling holes, i Just cut the 2 extra bolts off the spoiler
As for fitment...well it isn't the best...quite disappointed to be honest but ah well she'll do!

Re: Spoiler holes
I'm quite sure 3 bolts and sikaflex is more then enough to hold it in place.
There was no need for 5 bolts.
Only way I can see it coming off is if I reach speeds of 400km/h

Re: Spoiler holes
It will be fine 
My wing is stuck on with three x inch bits of bubble sided 3M tape on each side and two self tapping screws each side
And after three track days it's still on there

Re: Spoiler holes
I have a GP VR FTO but I have changed the VR wing with an adjustable wing.
It fits ok, I could make it fit better if I put the time into it
