fitting a version 6 rear spoiler.....
have got a cheapy V5 on at the mo that's got 8 bolts fixing it to the boot, now got a V6 spoiler and it's only got 4 bolt fixings, on the outside edge.
this seems ok fixing wise, but i'm just a bit concerned that with the middle not bolted down it may lift over time?
it's only a fibreglass copy and comes with some sticky backed foam stripping to make a good seal?
just wondering if anyone has dealt with this style of copy and what sort of results they've had?
will probably veer to the side of caution and stick a self taper in the middle but was just wondering if it is necasary? (not worried about extra holes on the boot lid, onto spoiler no.4 now )

Just bought a V6 spoiler and it has three fixings each side.
Two I've bolted through and the third one towards the back was a "pop in" type of fixing.
No need for anything in the middle, really firm!
