As they are chassis mounted, these holes aren’t to put the bolts through, but are for the spoilers mounting legs to pass through. It’s often not noticeable at first glance, but this is how the majority of large GT style wings on serious race cars are mounted, going through holes in the bodywork directly to additional strengthening bars added to the chassis. Once that’s all done it’s time to mount the spoiler in place, bolt it up tight, and refit all the trim you removed. And just like that, you’ve fitted your own rear spoiler. Chassis mounted To achieve this, first you will need to remove any interior trim panels and components that will be on the underside of where the spoiler will sit, or you simply won’t be able to reach to fasten the spoiler with the required nuts and/or bolts.

Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. Rear spoilers are something that’s almost assured to be fitted to any performance car, be it production, modified, or race car, and when it comes to modified cars it’s the most common bodywork modification people choose to do. But how do you fit one? Well the simple answer is there is no single way, as it depends on the item itself, and to some extent it depends on its use too. But read on and we will show you all the ways it’s done… How To Fit A Car Spoiler Self-AdhesiveAs the name suggests, these spoilers aren’t fitted to your car’s body panels like a typical one. Instead they are fitted directly to the car’s chassis, eliminating flex and therefore maximizing potential downforce. They also happen to look mean as hell too. Pictures show a MINI model with optional equipment fitted. Due to supply restrictions, the exact configurations shown here may not be available. Please speak to your MINI retailer for further information. While bodywork tends to be thin enough to cut fairly easily, a stepped drill bit is ideal, as this allows you to start with a small hole and gradually go larger without needing to change drill bits. Once the holes have been made, it’s a wise move to touch up the paint around the newly cut holes to prevent rust developing over time. By far the simplest spoiler to fit is one of the self-adhesive ones that are available. These come with self-adhesive strips attached to them, so you simply have to clean and de-grease the area where you want to attach it, remove the covering of the self-adhesive strip, and place it on, job done.

However, be aware that quality matters a lot when it comes to the effectiveness of this, both in quality of the adhesive strip and overall fitment quality. To maximize the chances that this spoiler will fit nicely and securely, holding it in place tightly with clamps or masking tape for an hour or two is a sensible move. SealantThe values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown are determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary according to the configuration.
