Spoiler — logbook Toyota Corolla 2008
I didn’t write to the magazine for a long time, there was no reason :) and then I found it ... Recently I went with my wife to a cafe by the sea, it was already dark, about 9 o’clock in the evening ... I parked normally, without disturbing anyone ... after the cafe we ​​returned home and it would seem that everything is fine ... The next morning I was in for a surprise...
The trunk lid (at the junction, above the Toyota inscription) had a good dent (2 by 4 cm and about 1 cm deep) and was painted blue (sorry, no photos yet, there will be soon ...) My native paint peeled off, you see some kind of jeep turned around and crushed the car... The most annoying thing is that even the signaling did not work, which squeaks from passing cars at all, and here - silence ...
In general, I began to look for a leveler and a painter, my relatives OD broke the price of 500 ye, I had to look on the side ... I drove up to one of the recommended specialists, they said that straightening and painting they would cost 300 ye (because there is little to straighten , but basically it is required to paint almost the floor of the trunk so that the color transition is not visible) - this amount did not inspire me either ...
I have long wanted to hang a spoiler saber. and here on you, according to my measurements, the saber just covered the trunk coverage area that had to be straightened and where the paint peeled off ... in the end, through the Internet, I bought this saber ... trying on ... everything is perfect ... but there was a catch! you can not put the spoiler on the open metal area of ​​the trunk! you still need to paint it, otherwise it will rot ... who knew, who knew)))) - as they say, the miser pays twice :) but I found a person who will paint and straighten the impact surface for me for 70 ye, for the subsequent installation of a spoiler …
Estimate:
- Straightening and painting $ 70
- Spoiler $ 100 - Spoiler painting $
50 - Spoiler
installation $ 5
Total: $225
PS I took off the inscriptions (Toyota Corolla), it looks better without them :)
Mileage: 23.000 km
