Mears5 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 i am currently considering fitting a nismo V1 rear spoiler to my car, however it currently has the little rear lip on it i just wondered if anybody has actually gone through the process of taking the lip off and fitting the above and would no if you can utilise the same holes? i have seen other discussions about it and have tried to do some reasearch with some saying yes and some saying know just wondered if anybody can provide a more definative answer to help? the below should show what im getting at Cheers Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Extreme care has to be taken while removing the rear OEM spoiler. There's loads of gritty particles that lodge underneath the spoiler and it'll scratch your paint if you're not very careful. The spoiler is also bonded on and needs levering off . The body shop that did mine made a right mess of it first time around, lots of scratches, a small dint and a badly damaged Nissan burger badge. They did however fix it for me in the end. ChrisS removed his own OEM spoiler, took him several hours I think. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I took my lip off and fitted a Nismo V1. The original lip is a bit of pain to get off as it is bonded pretty firmly, but a hairdryer and lots of patience will get it off eventually. Great care is needed not to damage the paint underneath though, followed by a very good clean. The Nismo spoiler uses the two existing holes, but you also have to drill two new ones so can't really be removed afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mears5 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm not going to fit it myself mainly for the reasons you'v said but thanks for the help guys I will have a look in the guides section? What else do you have on as well as the v1 chaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 As has been said, the orignial lip is pretty well bonded on. Not sure about DE cars, but my HR used a 3M type tape to secure the OEM lip. Made is slightly easier to come off. Not sure what earlier cars used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
