Managed to get my hands on an ebay roof visor/spoiler! Contrary to all opinions in other threads this thing wasn't easy to install alone... But at least, the fitment is really good, although stupid me managed to stick it on a bit off centre kindasad.gif



What's your thoughts? It's slightly more to the right than its supposed to. I'm really thinking about pulling it off and re-aligning, but its easier said than done as that double sided stuff its got on it looks like a real pain to undo!!!

In the future, if you only peel the corners of the adhesive and line it up, you can then pull the backing off while it's held in place and stick it down. Makes for perfect alignments every time

That's some solid advice. I would also suggest sliding in some thin plastic strips beneath the side brackets to make sure that the screws don't bite down and scratch the paint beneath them when tightened. Also applies for the underside screws...
