GTI spoiler got ripped in Kuchai Lama

[darrenlam]

My friend's GTI spoiler was ripped off from his beloved GTI early this morning in Kuchai Lama (somewhere between 12am and 7am). Now his car have leftovers dents and markings, have to find replacement spoiler and place to ketuk and respray the affected areas of the car..

Those b******s really desperate, not only go CF spoilers, normal GTI spoilers also don't let go.

*sigh* .. feel damn sorry for my friend...

You guys got any recommendations for the replacement and repairs? Just reply to this post. Thanks.

No sure if the spoilers broken or not ... but they use tools to "kopak" the base of the spoiler...

*sigh* ..

No need tools la, I use my hands alone also can remove the GTi spoiler without damaging it. Reason being that a) the original spoiler is damned strong and b) the parts of the tailgate that it's attached to is damned soft.

Two people can remove the spoiler in under a minute. Lift up, lower, unplug brake lamp cable, cabut. Only amateurs damage your car.

How do I know? Mine got stolen not once but twice.

Best thing to do is to install metal washers under the nuts where the spoiler attaches to the tailgate. This will prevent them from removing the spoiler or at least from removing it undamaged but will not stop them from damaging the tailgate from their attempts.

How do I know? It worked the second time.

Generally, I would agree with you. But in this case, it's probably better if the thiefs know how to do it properly, since it would entail less damage to the cars.

If the thiefs that took my spoiler the first time knew what they were doing, I'd have saved over a thousand ringgit in unnecessary bodywork repair, respray and re-wiring costs.
