I'm hoping someone with previous experience installing these can help me out please,
I received my risers a few days ago and started working on them today, however after taking the spoiler off I see nothing matches up.. I'm aware the block and the spoiler wont match and new holes need to be drilled, but the block and the bottom of the car do not match up anywhere, I tried taking photos best I can resting the blocks in position Here is how the risers look upside down on the spoiler (not mounted) The riser over hangs over the boot (as they all do, and i took a photos in that gap.. So you can see the mounting hole on the block are like 1cm from the boot then the mounting hole can be seen on the right from the boot far away from everything Anyone experience something like this when installing? or am I missing a piece Any help would be appreciated thanks -------------------- |

Hmmm...your risers look like they're missing the bottom piece to them, that might be why they aren't lining up at all. This is the best picture I have of mine but you can kind of see that they have a whole bottom part to them.

The bottom piece holds 2 nuts fiber glassed in place to match the stock holes. And the wing has 2 holes punched ready to be drilled to match up with the riser blocks upper half. If i didn't have mine on with weather strip sealant and double sided tape i would remove them and show you.

If anyone is interested..
I've got some brackets that I made to match up the bottom of the risers and bolted them to the block then put rubber on the bottom and going to seal it for it to be weather proof then I just need to drill the correct holes for it to fit the car, but thank you for the replies, searching around its hard to find photos of a bottom of a riser and this helps me grasp how to mold mine -------------------- |
