You should know asking for a knob on a 'Prelude for breaking thread' means the gear knob..

I was trying to kill two birds with one stone.. Or trying to get two knobs with one sentence.

@Donald When you put your spoiler on the car make sure you seal the holes with some sort of pads or sealant. I have a water leak from the holes which drips down them and collects inside the boot so when ever I open the boot there is a Niagara falls from the lid..

I am planing on just cutting up some foam sheet using the spoiler as a template and putting that on it.

I could have given you some single side adhesive ccf at Mimms, that's perfect for that nitin (exactly what I used it for - check the black si build thread)

But on a brighter note, I got some for free from someone else.

@nitin_s1 I was already prepped for that with the new spoiler - waterproof double sided security tape from work (this type stuff: http://www.reddiseals.com/product/secur ... zing-tape/). Had to do a bit of temp treatment on the bubbling bit, then luckily I had some left over tape to at least get a seal around the old one. Put the old one back on as the spoiler I was fitting has a smaller footprint than the standard one, so you could see the disgusting outline from the old spoiler plus the bubbling bits. Thought it was better to at least have it out of the elements as much as is possible and out of sight until I can get the bootlid properly sorted.
