Hi guys, what I'm after is some pics of where the gti spoiler joins onto the car, I know where it goes ( I'm not a complete idiot!). The problem I am facing is getting both sides of the spoiler flush with the edge of the tail gate,
I'll get a pic up tonight of my spoiler that im wanting to fit and how it looks, I'm just after some pics of how it SHOULD look lol.
UPDATE::: the pics at davewafula.Photoshop.com
Still after some photos of how you guys' spoilers look.

takes a little bit of pressure to get it to sit right mate, and even then it can sometimes stick out a few mm

I don't think the spoiler sits flush to the sides IIRC.

Being the picky sort - I really hate it when people say this. Yes we all know what it looks like - but we all want to see the condition that yours is in! | |

Nah, even on the ones where they were fitted when the car was bought brand new they look slightly out of line

That's what I was wondering, because I've tried getting both the left and right flush but no dice stall, I just need to find someone local go has done it already who can help me out so I can get it too look ok, what a nightmare so far.

i had that problem when i fitted mine, it still doesnt sit flush on my car, but it looks okay, even though it took a fair bit of jiggling round to make it look okay, it just slightly out of line on the left :). to be fair i don't think it is possible to get them to sit flush

When I did it, I made myself a little measuring thing out of a ruler and a measured piece of card, then measured the distance from a particular point both sides, to a point on the spoiler. Marked on the tailgate using a TINY scratch (that was covered up in the end).
Had some pictures doing it, but they're on my old laptop, which doesn't turn on. If I was local I'd come down and help.

I just used the fitting kit that came with the spoiler
Peugeot are nice like that as they include it & idiot proof instructions in the box

It comes with a genuine Peugeot spoiler, I very much doubt they will sell the fitting kit on its own.

Ok well basically I've uploaded two photos one shows how I think both sides should sit, the next photo is slightly exaggerated (because I only have two arms) but it's how the other side sits when the other is like photo 1.
All are at davewafula.Photoshop.com (pretty sure that's it)

Just looked at your pictures, the spoiler doesn't sit at the very corner of the tailgate. You need to get it as close as you can to the exact middle - with the same gap at either end to the end of the tailgate.
