Boot lip spoiler fitment

[PUR157]

For the guys running the OEM rear lip spoiler on a clubman, do any of you know if the placement of the spoiler will foul the clubman sticker?
ie will I have to remove the sticker to fit the spoiler on (assuming the sticker is in its original position)

Also I've read you only need sikaflex/adhesive to hold the spoiler on... does anyone recommend different?

PM green_comet mate, he mentioned something about the clubman sticker having to sit about 3mm lower or something?

Ah alrighty, thanks for that Cheyne

Anymore advice peoples?

You can fit it without moving the sticker, but there will be a very small gap between the spoiler and the top of sticker. I lowered my Clubman badge a few mm to make it look right.

Thanks green_comet, that's just the info I was looking for!

Personally, I wouldn't just use Sikaflex to mount it with however.
The aerodynamic forces at over 100km/h would just be too great and you wouldn't want it flying off.

I've seen spoilers that were bolted on just rip out of the metal at high speeds.

Go down a freeway at 100km/h, and stick your had out of the window, then tell me if you think Sikaflex would hold the spoiler on.

That's exactly why I asked...
I don't know the adhesive properties of sikaflex first hand so I'm at a loss to judge whether or not it's sticky enough

I appreciate the tip though, gives me more to think about

Mines bolted on with these little clips that clamp onto the edge of the bootlid.

I have an NB8B rear spoiler and Mazda thinks a few bolts and double sided tape will hold it on. It did until my car was parked outside on a really hot day and the spoiler buckled lifting up from the bootlid. I had to get a new spoiler and used the bolts and sikaflex instead of the double sided tape to attach it this time. It's been there for 4 years and seen some really hot days since and hasn't moved.

Thanks for all the advice people, very useful advice!
