Boot lip spoiler

[Grumps]

As some will know I had a man out to remove a dent from my boot lid but unfortunately he left me with this.

Someone mentioned to me about putting a lip spoiler on to cover the damage. (Sorry can't remember who it was ). I've found these painted to match on eBay. If the repair I'm attempting doesn't work I may go down this route. What do people think?
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320961233823

That looks a good price. Should look good. I always thought the rear of the Z3 was missing something and this may make the rear look a little more finished

Having seen a couple with these discrete spoilers mate, I think they look the nuts and set it off nicely as @billz says, just completes the back end for me. Bob on.

Dave i ordered of these couple of weeks ago. Overall i am well pleased .
I was slightly dubious as they are in Taiwan but decided to order (paypal cover if went wrong) ordered it on late on Monday 28th March got the item dispatched email from them on the Wednesday. Dhl tracking number on Thursday morning tracked it across the world arrived Monday 3rd April (7 days from order) colour match is spot on paint job cant fault.
Comes with 3m tape on rear so peal and stick.
The only thing I found was ideally 2 people to fit as once i marked up fitting position either side with masking tape when i placed spoiler on discovered needs to be fitted slightly curved to follow the zeds boot line but easy enough to do.
Here's the finished look.

Sounds like a plan Dave

That work's well

Have thought about one of these many times for mine
But just never seem to have got round to one!
I think they do look good especially when they cover
A bleb

Should work just fine and retain existing paint colour on the boot!

Looks like a cost effective way to cover that spot Dave and those little spoilers look fine on the zeds I've seen with them. Good plan!

Get one ordered mate, great way to sort the issue

Only trouble is Dave, we will all know what lurks underneath!

Same one mate.

I've had both a colour coded one and a carbon fibre one now, plus I've ordered a colour coded one for a mate and @gookah has had at least 2 as well. My colour coded one is one of the originals and is slightly bigger than the ones they sell now but these still look great. The colour match has been spot on with everyone I have ordered or seen. They are easy to fit, just stick them on but as mentioned they look better if they are curved slightly. The delivery is always pretty quick also, some have come within a week.

The carbon fibre effect one I have just fitted is universal and is the same size as my original which sits a bit higher and wider. You have to cut them to size though and fit the caps on each end to tidy it up. Again fitting is the same, they are more of a rubber type material. I am happy with mine and it only cost about £15, came within a week also.

I'd go for the colour coded one on yours, for the price of them you can't go wrong. It will certainly cover up the damage and save you an expensive respray plus it gives you a different look.

Same one mate.

He lists a different listing for face-lift and pre face-lift models don't know if any difference.

Thanks Steve. That seals it I think as it's from the same supplier.
