canny mate am gonna do everything a can to save her lol

Steves Cleenz 10-07-10 08:26 PM

hire a porta power, makes it so much easier, if you can, make a brace that goes across the strut mounts or what ever you push off gets dented (did on mine lol) i was pushing off the bit under the rear shelf, or if the porta power comes with the clamps, then clamp it from where the bumper attaches with the plastic clips, chain it to a tre and drive off slowly, you will be suprised at how soft the backend is, but always start from where the main impact was, and if pushing with the porta power go about an inch and half further than what it suppose to be, as once you take the porta power off then the metal will spring back, shame you dont live closer as i would give you a hand and get get hold of a porta power


EDIT****

looking at the photo again you will probally be better off pulling it rather than pushing it, even if you can weld a bolt on to pull off will be good

andys1981 11-07-10 03:00 PM

how much is it to hire one of these portapower things,just get them from a local hss store or that

Steves Cleenz 11-07-10 05:03 PM

local hire shop should do them, as for price, i dont know

the slabs make an excellent replacement spoiler


looks good apart from the lid youd never know really

stamford 12-07-10 07:47 PM

Have the creases moved at all on the rear quarters? What about the door shut gap? Looks like it could go the same way as Steve's did, very well! :thumbsup:

Jay-ZS+ 12-07-10 07:47 PM

Think I prefer the extreme spoiler to the paving!! Doesnt look too bad, looks fixable. New boot lid and bumper and your half way there!

andys1981 12-07-10 07:47 PM

just a temp fix,till a get a boot lid,aye am quite chuffed how it went tbh

Steves Cleenz 12-07-10 08:08 PM

you are best to change the hinges aswell as they bend very easy, so get them just incase

Steves Cleenz 12-07-10 08:15 PM

Maxfly 12-07-10 08:51 PM
