Hi Guys, Im a bit of a noobie when it comes to modding therefore I require your help! I have just brought a Irmscher GSI spoiler for my Corsa B. It has integrated brake light as well. Looking at my car, I cant see any obvious ways of screwing it etc to the car. What is the proper way of a) attaching the spoiler to the car and b) wiring the brakelight up? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers

on my old car i got a bodyshop to fit it, only charged me £25
as for the brake light you need to run the wires through the grommet in the boot and into the car to the back of rear light, then just tap into the live + and earth - for the brakelights

Did you not get a template for drilling the holes into the bootlid?

Yes holes is the best way, thats the way they were originally fitted.

jst put the black plastic bit against the boot lid n draw marks through the hles, drill holes n screw that on. then put the spoiler on the plastic bit n move the small screws (attached to the spoiler) around so they mark the paint. then drill holes at the marks n bolt the thing on
