I've heard a bit of talk about "going Brazilian" and I assume it means removing that troublesome rubber spoiler from the rear hatch. I have mine removed now and it looks like a much more complicated job than I expected. How is it "normally" done? ......Just fibreglassing up the holes, or is there an aftermarket "cover" or something available? And whats the best/easiest way to deal with the middle stoplight? The "new" rubber spoiler I bought isn't perfect, but it seems like it would be far easier to just bite the bullet and put it back on. Any advice appreciated
get "Infill Panel" for rear hatch. Is the factory brazilian perspex insert, with 3rd brake light included. Holes on side of hatch from rear spoiler removal can be bogged, glassed or welded over. Some opt to fill the hatch as well for a smoother look. This can be done completely with filler, or cutting a metal in-fill, welding it in and filling the edges. Illegal without the addition of a 3rd Brake light that can be fitted to the internal hatch glass (readily available at Repco, Supercheap etc). Alternatively, you can put the "gonzo" style rear hatch lip on. It doesn't come with the 3rd brake light, so will have to be combined with the above-mentioned hatch glass brake light. It requires bogging in, but the finish is pretty good. Have read that the mould was probably made on a 2+2, so some modifications will be required to get it to fit flush on the 2+0 (look at BADZX's vehicle rebuild writeup. He has fitted 1 to his sons car).
Good reply???.its a bloody fantastic reply Now I feel Guilty for not checking it out before now But my old comp. did die on me earlier this week, and I totally forgot that I'd asked the question Thanks a MILLION 90TTZ .absolutely brilliant, complete info. Cheers Keith
warning: these are very fragile and are easily broken when handling and/or fitting..... use extreame care or be a couple of hundred dollars out of pocket Kingy
