I bought a black boot spoiler off eBay and having read previous submissions believed the saloon and hatchback spoilers to be the same. Not so, the one I got came off a hatch and its fitting bolts are too wide for the boot by about 30mm. I could cut them off and screw self tappers through boot but may just sell it on and try to get the right one. Bit of a dissapointment.
 
Important lesson to be learnt here, do plenty of research. Happens to the best of us

OK let me ask the question. Apart from the Honda accord 4 door saloon one, what else will fit nicely on this animal. What other Honda year or model will fit, if any? series 5 maybe? What other car maker has a spoiler that will work with the limited bolting area available. anyone had a play?

hi guys not been on for a long time :(, i missed you all! i drive a hatch and a ordered the ATR coz i liked it soo much. i bought a genuine ATR and got it painted. there was markings under neath the boot lid on mine where to drill. but when i sat it on it looked like they were about 20mm too far apart but appyling some soft pressure to the middel of the spoiler moved the ends in line and the base at each end lay fat so drilled the holes and used 1" lenth bolts to catch it at eather side then tightend them up.

i thing the integra DC 1 & 2 spoilers are the same as the 1 at my work messures up to the same size :D but not sure of the holes on the bottom.

thanks
 
Hi Mikem,

I have a 6th gen black Accord hatch - Would you please let me know if we could come to an arrangement re. shipping to Ireland? Not sure re. costs, payment etc. but we could chat......

- Could you please send on or post here a photo of this spoiler (am interested in subtle not Type R!) and also confirm the paint code or Hondas description of same? (ie. they have a couple of snappy names for their blacks)

It is on fleabay Item number: 160691105233 and if it does not go then I am open to sensible offers. All details on there. Dont see ireland as serious problem but will check prices for post.
 
Got your message Mike - Thanks.

Could you please clarify what exact Spoiler it is? Is it a Honda OEM part and which Car would it have been fitted on etc? Does it need any paintwork?

- I would probably be interested if your price + shipping + the miserable state of my finances don't all meet and conspire against me....... !!!!

The spoiler came off a honda accord and I have seen several like it and ***ume it to be a Honda one. There are pics on Ebay and pics of the Honda hatchback it came off. There are some minor surface scratches which I was prepared to live with, got worse ones on my car anyway and a small ding underneath which does not show unless you bend down and squint. I was happy to put it on without painting at all and I checked the reg of the car it came off with Honda and they say it is nighthawk black and it matches my cars colour perfectly so believe that to be so. have a look on ebay 160691105233 and make me an offer!
