Title: TTE Duckbill fitting
Post by: Hammond on April 28, 2022, 14:46
I recently purchased a fibreglass reproduction of the TTE duckbill spoiler. I am happy with the quality and it shouldn't take a lot of work for the body shop to prep and paint. There are threaded bolts on the underside for the mounting. Does the OEM have similar? I have mocked up a cardboard template but I am keen to hear other peoples advice for when it comes to fitting it. Thanks in advance team :)

Not got one myself but I am pretty sure the oem has them as you need to remove it to take the lights out. If you bond it, you need to at least partially remove the bumper to be able to take a light out.

Do yourself a favour and use butterfly nuts instead of the 10mm nuts to tighten it up.
