Bad day for me!

I was at the Berlin Raceway today and as I was driving home I felt the very unusual bouncing feeling as I was driving. I still currently have no idea what that was, however as I got out to inspect the car, my lip was just hanging completely off only being held by two screws (all the other ones fell off). So that was my day today!

Always use nuts n bolts to secure. If you're just going to use self tapping screws use a lot of double sided tape.

Hopefully the lip is still in tact.

You should have taken pictures so we can see! Like Simple3 said, use nuts and bolts to secure it. I also added 3m tape. Remember there's probably some down force pushing down on the spoiler and that's why the screws didn't hold

+1 nuts, bolts and added bonus a lock washer. I did my lip like that and have bumped,scraped and smashed it into everything and it's still on perfectly.

That's a lot of scrapage going on! How low are you sitting?
