    Also.... What are people's opinions on colour coding door handles and roof spoiler? I'm all for the idea, but I do also want to keep
    The car as original as possible too!!

      Keep it as standard as possible

        Welcome

        Nice n shiny ... not sure about the colour though
        I missed the cost of purchasing this icon of motoring excellence ... if you are prepared to divulge.

          Spoiler etc

          Just to note, it seems the spoiler is body coloured in some markets - mine is from Czech Republic and had the roof spoiler body coordinated from new (but not the handles)

            That is incorrect. All cars apart from ones with an ACS spoiler were only ever supplied with the black plastic spoiler. It could have been however that a customer requested this to be painted just before taking delivery.

              How would one remove the spoiler for painting?
              Assume it's bolted from below or similar?

                Yes it's quite easy to remove, bolt from under the bootlid. Just need to remove the window trim (wasn't actually that long ago I did mine, but it's pretty straight forward!).

                  Just three bolts and some mastic I think, when you open the rear hatch you can see three black grommets on the top edge when removed you can access the bolts

                    I remember some kind of rubber washers around each bolt. I had a spot of rust around one hole which I took care of so good time to check that.

                    Grommets sounds right, I just remember removing some trim somewhere along the lines as the rear screen was coming out!
