Front Lip Spoiler - what fasteners ??

[simonbuk]

Could anybody please tell me what sort of fastners are normal used to attach the lip spoiler to the underside of the bumper ?

Is it just normal nuts and bolts with washers ? Or are there some special fixings ?

Can see the rubber strip for sale on SJSportscars website but nothing about how to fix.

Also what fixes the fibreglass undertray to the underside ?

[Simon_P]

Screws washers and spire nuts.

The washers are a special size as are the spire nuts.

If you would like a set of stainless Screws and washers £8 +P+P let me know.

and...

M6 Set screws

[simonbuk]

Ok cheers, does that include the spire nuts ? How many is needed ?

[Simon_P]

No spire nuts - they are extra deep for the thickness of the bumper.

17

Heavily rusted ones

I have been attempting to remove mine for some weeks now. Finally resorted to grinding them off (carefully) as they are all irretrievably seized. I have a stainless steel set standing by to use with the replacement though.

Good luck!

Ok, I'll take a set please, how can I order and pay from you ?

Fortunately mine were already off so I haven't got that problem !!

Sorry for all the questions but am just trying to work out EXACTLY what I need before starting the job.

My car came with the lip spoiler and undertray in the boot so I never took them off.

But he was asking about lip fasteners not the undertray fasteners. Think you may have mixed up and combined 2 different threads Geoff. See viewtopic.php?f=30&t=25135 for the undertray thread.

Guess the Spanish sun is getting to you!

EDIT actually I think the English sun is getting to me. Just noticed he said lip AND undertray. The other thread I referred to is just the undertray. Bit confusing when 2 separate threads cover the same thing

[GeoffSmith]

Still the English sun with me John.... at least until 18:05.

[simonbuk]

Thanks folks, think I've got most parts ordered now.

Annoying that when you order a new lip spolier you can't order the associated fitting parts to go with it easily !!

[Simon_P]

You can buy the parts easily. You just need to pay lotus £60.

Geoff you mean m6 I'm sure

Yep. M6 x 18 and not M8 x 16! Post corrected to avoid future problems rather than trying to make you look daft Simon.
