Have a look at the thread Guyver done about the fitting of an active spoiler. (http://www.mkivsupraownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12710)

Looks good,coming along nicely, have you just recently purchased that, sure i saw that advertised on the auto trader website recently... I want a TT and was window shopping without ther money to fund it as you do.. hopefully one day soon, dreams do come true ha ha....:rolleyes2:

[jay200bhp]

i had a black na for a couple of years and graduated to the TT recently it was on pistonheads when i saw her so its possible you may have seen it?! hope you find some pennies to buy a tt soon though matey,

the active spoiler is okay once you have figured out a line of attack,i thought in the beginning i was going to have to take off the front bumper to get the 5 bolts that fix the spoiler hardware onto the chassis rails on but you can do this by removing the headlights! i replaced all of the nuts under the undertray and front bumper with new stainless ones to,just to finish it nicely!so on the hole not to bad realy thanks for the comments guys :D

[Kev.O]

Where did you get the s/s screws from Jay?

[jay200bhp]

i got them from a stainless fabricator who works with my dad, theres a place near us who supplies all manner of screws or fixings for motorsport stuff though they are called oxford seals and bearings ...in wedgewood road bicester ...give them a google kev!

Bicester, I have family there. Thanks Jay

[jay200bhp]

do you kev who are they then????

[jay200bhp]

just a quick photo update of the last week or so's work on the TT i have been busy cutting the bonnaet out for the uk spec scoop to be fitted ,i decided to use the seal as well i know many didnt but it looks as much oem as possible!,the cutting went realy well and instead of cutting at right angles i used a broaching tool and cut radded lines then joined them up with a dremel,

[jay200bhp]

My painter kevin at alladin motorsport had the bits dropped off saturday morning at 11am, he didnt work sunday and yet the parts were back to me at 10.30 am monday morning! all for 60 pounds!very impressed i have the taken delivery for my tsd dsc from thor and have this to fit ,and some brushed stainless heater face bezels then have to fit the heater and dash dimmer buttons,i had these made by a small machine shop in bedford ,these will be anodised red soon ....

[jay200bhp]

Heres the car after i had fitted the scoop etc!

[Martin F]

Looks good Kev, and nice to see a professional job.

That seal is not OEM i'm afraid, the foam seal can only be seen by looking closely normally. Looks like you have some sort of seal sitting proud of the side of the scoop.

[jay200bhp]

hmmm steve manley sold me the seal as part of the kit i needed for the scoop!?

[dunk shaw]

Looks the same as mine and all bought through Toyota

[Gambit]

It is a stock item.
you've got the seal on backwards it should lip up the inside not the outside!

[Kev.O]

Looking nice, just need to sort the seal out. I think it really finishes off the bonnet.

[jay200bhp]

guys the seal has a right angle and the sticky part is stuck to the bottom of my scoop on the face which mates to the bonnet the smaller part of the seal lips up the side of the scoop at the moment ???

[Martin F]

These may help:

[Kev.O]

I don't have the seal on view on my car, and I don't recall seeing it on Barney's either.

[Gambit]

This is what I'm saying the sticky part goes to the bottom that sits on the bonnet and the right angle goes up the INSIDE of the scoop. Not the outside as you have it.
Got it?

[jay200bhp]

Gambit sorry for being spasticated ! so yes ive got it! and what i also have is the seal off and not sticky anymore and a real of adhesive backing to stick it back in the correct place hahaha cheers for the heads up though!

[Gambit]

Ok m8, post a revised close up picture when you get it sorted! :)

[jay200bhp]

Don't big yourself up too much, Martin was the first to spot it :D :tongue2:

You cheeky B*****d, Martin posted that it wasn't an original part. I posted the correction; So I'm taking the credit!

As I have an import and have done the scoop job, I know exactly what Jay is doing. :flip:

[Martin F]

Martin posted that it wasn't an original part.

I should have worded my post more carefully, and said the install didn't look OEM ;)

[jay200bhp]

fellas you havent seen the latest picture gambit you might not want the credit yet hahaha nah i looks good now thanks again guys pictures to follow,one thing from the guides and that on the .net though a few lads leave the seals off because they prefer not to see them ? but when fitted properly (ha! :D ) you cant anyway so do they just leave them off because there pricey for what they are from mr T?

[The Restorer]

Jay, your full stop and comma keys ain't working.

[jay200bhp]

mo its intermittent it worked when i typed .net :D im ruuuubish on a computer.!

[Gambit]

Never mind the chat where is the picture?

[jay200bhp]

On early shift this week, (up at 4.30am)and my renault shed broke down again so ill promise to take one tomorrow as i have nothing on in the afternoon! Gambit i meant to ask mate whats the "blitz active front spoiler controller" and what does it do for the active spoiler??tried google to no avail? ...ta.

[Gambit]

It gives me full control of my active spoiler.

[Martin F]

Looking good, clear indicators next ;)

[jay200bhp]

thanks kev and martin,yeah clear indicators next would be great and also need to source some oem rear spats as i sold mine to Angry Koala and mine are poor fitting fibreglass jobbies! horrible.... what wiring do i need to do to fit the oem genuine clear indicators ??

Simply cut the connectors and solder on the new wires, real easy to do, infact we done Flynn's at JAE last year. If you want to have the smaller bulb as a side light you'll need to run a new wire to the existing sidelights.(Common negative)

[Gambit]

Looks really good chap, well done.
