I have been looking to put a (Gsi) wrap around spoiler on my corsa, but i was wondering what i have to do to fit it? as i would like to find out what it in-tales before i buy one.
Also where would be the best place be to buy one, i have looked on the internet and they are about £70 is that cheap?
Many thanks

make sure you get a GM one
there is a frame u attatch to the hatch of the car,then the spoiler attatch's to that and you drill 4 holes in the hatch for 4 studs to secure the spoiler
although i attached mine by the frame,then used double sided tape/spoiler bond to keep it secure to the hatch,fits a treat

Not meaning to steal the post but if these spoilers are fitted well how strong are they? just that i really want one for my car but i regularly have a boot mounted cycle rack on my car at weekends and the top straps would pull down on it

do NOT buy an aftermarket spoiler!!! there bigger and sit wrong on the car. get a genuine one from another corsa or buy it from vauxhall. seriously, don't buy it off ebay from a company. Fad off here has one for sale. u2u him

got mine for £20 off some lad that was on here.
I fitted it using countersnks into the body work. Now its as strong hulk even at high speeds it stays on.

I bought a copy 1 (with built in brake light) for my gfs corsa. It sits higher than the rest of the car, and was abit of a bitch to fit. Buy a vaux 1 and it'll save you so much messing around! Though her one does look quite good

keep an eye out in breakers m8 - i got mine from a local breakers yard cos some1 drove his car into a fence n wrote it off
Got the entire tailgate for £40 (with glass but no wiper/motor) - same colour as my car too so saved on spraying
