Hey Guys...
Well a few days ago i bought a Spoiler from the clearance house down here in SA and in the pack, it came with the spoiler (obviously) the Tail Light, the bolts for the taillight, and the weird thing 4 bolts but they dont have heads...
Thats where i am stumped.. how the heck do i both it on with headless bolts and how do i hold the spoiler on with them???
PICS::

I would say that the "bolts" would screw into the bottom of the spoiler, then through your boot lid and be held on with nuts.

on my spoiler the bolts go through the boot up into the spoiler and the spoiler has thread which tightens the bolts up

It appears by the pics that the studs screw into the bottom of the spoiler & you should probably have got some nuts with it. Just take the studs to a fastener place & get some nuts & washers to fit, maybe nylock nuts?

if it was a factory kit..then it would have come from a supplier and when they installed it where ever they must have had a big bucket of nuts and bolts and tools next to them...as some said before..just go to Bunnings or motor traders around where you live..with your sample for lenghth...hell ..there can only be 10-12 mm metric nuts and bolts..not that hard really...
just looked at the photo properly..you should realy only need nuts as these studs should be the correct length..get the nuts..put two on each stud...tighten them together..and then you can screw them into the spoiler and tighten them up..hold the nuts with two spanners to undo them again AND REPEAT..

the nuts are 8mm thread and the head is 10mm that means needs a 10mm socket/spanner to do it up, as for mounting the spoiler with mine i just measured from bolt to bolt and mark out on the boot where i has to go when u have done this place the spoiler on the boot and see if the marks line up with the bolts

Put the studs in the spoiler, measure on boot lid where to put them, drill the holes, plus one for the LED plug and fit like so:

You will also need the rubery felt pad thingy that goes between the spoiler and the boot lid

well i put the spoiler on yesterday, but i didnt realise that i should cut a bigger hole like mr cosmo did... i spent 20 mins each side fiddling around trying to get the nuts that i bought onto the threads, then doing it up was another thing... but its done....
only took hour and a half ffs
