I recently purchased an RR '04 RS a couple days ago and was wondering about installing an OEM spoiler. I bought an OEM RR spoiler from a fellow member here on EvoM (thanks Shocker!) and it should be arriving soon. Here's my questions. Can installing this be a do-it-yourself job or should I take it to a dealer and see how much a service fee would be? What's your thoughts on this.

Look under your trunk lid... there are flat spots in the sheet metal for the forward holes (towards the rear window), and the rubber stoppers unscrew to reveal the locations for the rear holes.

Cover the top of your trunk (mounting area) with masking tape (prevent scratches) Take your new wing and make a template out of paper or stiff poster board from the mounting points.

Now line them up on top of the trunk by checking measurements (center of bolt/holes) etc and also check the alignment under the trunk for the above locations mark the locations with a marker on the tape.

Make a hole by starting with the smallest drill bit you have. Check to see of the the hole lines up correctly. This way if you need to move the hole 1mm or so it won't be a big deal. If you screw up, hopefully you will just end up with elongated holes. Remember... it all gets covered up when the wing goes on.

Dont forget to paint the inside of the holes before final assembly.

It's easier than it sounds.

Remember...

Use plently of masking tape.

Take your time
Measure twice (or three times), and drill once.

Or swap your trunk with someone else. I am sure plenty of people are looking for an RS trunk and would be happy to swap.

It sound's like a DIY job, doesn't sound hard at all. Remember that doing your own work is very rewarding . Just make sure you have all the tools you need and plenty of time to do it. You should be fine.
