Dodger's Coupe

[Matt]

Coming along nicely mate

 

[dodger]

Been very busy yesterday, finally got my rear spoiler sprayed and fitted here are the pictures:

All masked up and ready for measuring

Holes marked out and drilled

All fitted.

The colour is a very good match, fitted in the correct place, well pleased

 

[Mark Dj]

Looks much better with the spoiler fitted 8) . Don't slam the boot shut like some people do as the spoiler will split, seen loads of Coupes with split spoilers

 

[dodger]

It's a proper Irmscher one should it should be ok, out of interest how do thay split is it the spoiler vibrating as the boot shuts then

 

[Mark Dj]

The others have been Irmscher ones mate. I think it's when the boot is closed too hard. Seem a few hatches the same and a few Coupes.

 

[JohnnyN]

I like that muchness!

Have you had to upgrade the boot lifters?

 

[dodger]

no mate, boot lifters are not fitted to the coupe, it is sprung either side

 

[JohnnyN]

That's a bonus then! Wicked!

Looks much better with the spoiler ...

Drilling holes in to your pride and joy must be a blast

Its a very daunting experiance nige.......measure 12 times and drill once.... as there aint no goin back

 

[dodger]

I got 3 seperate people to double check all my measurements before i started drilling and even then i was crapping myself, but i'm glad i did it, it was a good satisifying experience.

Looks well, just adds that nice touch to the boot.

It would have been No-Nails for me pmsl

I was going to use tigerseal for the adhesive, but being a detailer i wanted the option to take it off so i could wax the underside and boot on occasions

 

[Matt]

I used screws and tigerseal when I fitted the one on my MK4

 

[dodger]

On Friday i picked up my sprayed Irmscher Splitter for the Coupe

So i got straight to work, removed the rubber splitter

Then offered up the splitter just by holding it there with tape

On Saturday went about fitting properly using Tigerseal and a couple of screws in the correct place got it all fitted,
at the minute it's held in place with some tape and cable ties while the Tigerseal goes off

More pictues will come once the bumper is fully fixed and the tape and cable ties removed

 

[BURT150]

Very nice 8) That looks loads better. looks a good pait job too.

 

[dodger]

i got both the spoiler ans splitter all prepared and sprayed inc paint for £150

 

[Drakey]

Completely transforms the front end...looks great.
