but i dunno how i'll fix to flange on the sides to the boot??
i think i read the micra SR has a bracket coming out of the boot side for these flanges, r the brackets part of the boot or are they a seperate piece?
or maybe i could just silicone seal/glue it on?

can anyone help me.
 
top you need to drill holes through your boot, only two at each end then tiger seal it, and tiger seal the sides down aswell. the super s's etc that had that spoiler standard ahd metal bracket things on the boot where the sides go to, iirc boot into the outside of the boot. as said just tiger seal the sides and top then it should be fine :)
 
righteo

um who sells tiger seal or similar stuff? does B&Q, halfords, partco autoparts do em?
i still have some black gasket seal stuff if it works.

most silicon sealers will do, windscreen bonding sealer is the best tho.
it pays to take the shine off any bit your sticking tho
 
makebe bathroom sealant? lol jk
i'll look around house for some silicone sealant

so i should roughen up the top & side face of boot with say 600 wet dry before stickin?

seems though the spoilers been dropped cos it has two slight cracks underneath the lip. i'll bond it together over the weekend. wonder if superglue'll work...naa cos it's prob ABS plastic like wingmirrors.
what could i try?
 
found some £6 stikaflex down the local partco but they also had their own brand of the same stuff for £3 so i got that.

just prepping n priming the spoiler tonight. bah its soo labourious sanding the surface till its matte.
