Darren-B Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Glad your finally getting the spoiler replaced Mr G, shame you've had to fork out for the inconvienence of the poor unwarranted first one. Lets hope the new one doesn't do the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 In fairness it was warranted but only for a year, bit of a bummer really, I will be sending it back to the supplier when it comes off to see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well hopefully the supplier can speak with the manufacturer & come to some arrangement seeing as this is certainly not the only instance of wing failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hope you get it sorted graham, was shocked to see how bad that spoiler had got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Oh do tell, what's this all about, damaged spoiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's not damaged, it's defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 About time it looked awful and really detracted from such a nice car, have you got a replacement from the supplier, surely it shouldn't go like that after just a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Mine was like that from the very first day, it's been fixed by RT-P prior fitting. Hope you get a replacement, I wasn't that lucky with my supplier Edited August 10, 2013 by octet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Who supplied these, as that's not very good if its happened on more than one. Hope you're getting either a good quality replacement or a full refund. You know I'm like at naming lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I wasn't aware until the Ace Cafe meet that anyone else had had the same issue, I took some photos but I'm not sure whose car it was and if it came from the same supplier, funnily enough that was Azure too. Mine came from Zmanalex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Seriously? Mine too But there were others in Wales 2012 with similar problems, I remember taking some photos, must dig them through the millions I have on the external drive I've been told they were from the same supplier.

Wasso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Really Zmanalex so what's happening about it? What's Alex doing for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The one from ace cafe was an original spoiler on the car from the factory. It belonged to tophooker. It didn't seem to have the defects yours did. Edited August 10, 2013 by Will370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem to have the defects yours did. In fairness that one exhibited completely different symptoms and were restricted to the central area only.

Wasso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Do it nice or do it........ Erm....... Twice is it? Edit - or in my case 3 times Edited August 10, 2013 by Wasso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Really Zmanalex so what's happening about it? What's Alex doing for you? Not a lot so far, there has been a long conversation though, we'll see what happens when I send the old spoiler back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hopefully won't come to going down the sale of goods act route as quite obviously not fit for purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well it was for a while but apparently some of these have "been known to react to direct sunlight" and the warranty is only six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
