It's at £31 + £10 p&p
I've just found a tailgate with a spoiler for £58 delivered - how easy is it to swap a tailgate?

Damm - good point, I just checked and it's black non-metallic. So that's a no go.

Oh really! 
All I know is that there are 2 codes for black, one is metallic and the other isn't.

Right, how do you find your exact one then? Plus it wont make much diff. The spoiler will always looks different since the paint will be newer.
But it shouldn't stick out too much because of where it is, it would be a different story if it was a wing or something.

indeed. bodyshops will find your exact as they have the software. i only know this as me old man does the training for it.
if you go halfords they will make it up to your black then test somewhere out of sight see if it matches if not go back and complain.
benefit of bodyshop is they do all the chasing and arsin around for you.

Yeah I'm not going to attempt something like a spoiler myself - I will bodge it 
And since I'm a perfectionist, I'll see how imperfect the job was.

cheers juan.
and £100 does seem a bit much shop around its your best bet. |
Been shopping around and still can find anything lower than £110
£41 for the spoiler + £110 to re-spray it and fit it = £151 - it's not not looking so attractive!!

Yeah I'm going to email them back and ask them for a price without fitting.
Most quotes I'm getting are between £100-£120. Might have to give it a miss I think.
