My Bay

[Barry]

So…… my eBay stickers fade within 12 months. 
And I bought the dear ones ….. 350 for $10 

I did buy some clear UV paint this time.

(Kamei) Spoilers?
Does anyone run one?

Anyway - a mate of mine makes them and gave me one for a Xmas present the other day (a few years ago? Surely not?)
Finally got around to putting it on today. 
Bugger of a job for me - still getting use to bays. took a while to work out how easy the rubber strip comes off. Much easier than late beetles. 
Then the 4 bolts were completely rusted. 2 had to be drilled and ground. 
Finally got it on. 

Good day for a test here in Sydney. 
25km/hr winds with 52km gusts. 
I live near the Gladesville Bridge made for a good testing ground 

Have to say it does make a difference. 
No where near as much wandering. 
Tomorrow will be a good test. 
Going for a drive up to Belmont (near Newcastle) so it will get a good blast up the freeway. A couple of “high wind areas” to go through. 

Don’t think it’s too ugly. 

Give an update tomorrow

On the downside, I found where that goose hit me the other day. 
There is a dent hiding under the rubber strip on the passenger side of the bumper bar. 
Goes all the way through to the deformation panel. 
Just another battle scar I suppose. 
Took me 6 months to find it so I should just forget about it.

You’ll also have to revise your driving, to allow for less clearance below…….so the spoiler stays where you put it. 

Looks really good!

Well - went for a blast up to Belmont yesterday and it sat beautifully. 
The wind was worse than Tuesday. 
The only buffeting was when a truck decided to pass me as I was cruising at ~ 100
Going over the Big Dipper at Mooney Mooney bridge was a one handed affair. 

Decided to leave it on for a while longer as it definitely makes a difference.
