hi there

i have a 1998 polo 1.4 and im looking at fitting a small spoiler very similar to the ones which come on polos as standard to mine. i was just wondering how difficult or not it is to wire it up????

cheers james

dont think polos come with spoilers as standard..
but anyway, i had a hella 1 from eurocarparts (Â£70) and it was a 5 min job at my local garage.

it shouldnt be hard to wire up, its just i cant be bothered!

I had a hella spoiler with a clear brake light on my Mk4, a mate who worked in a body shop fitted it for me, he had to drill a hole in the hatch for the cable to go through, and the spoiler was bonded on with that nasty black resin glue!

If you're willing to drill a hole, then it's pretty easy! Does yours have a high-level light anyway?

spraying isn't too bad either - just get the stuff from VW as halfords can be a pain to colour match.

the mastic stuff (for sticking it on) can be bought from most car parts places I believe - otherwise just ask around.

I'm sure you can just run a feed off the existing brake lights, it shouldn't blow any fuses or melt any wires.
