Front spoiler : rivets vanished

Post by amarshall »

Came out of the house this morning to find the front spoiler sitting very low- half the rivets were missing! Anyone have any ideas what might have happened ? I did ground it a couple of times earlier in the week, but I can't see how the rivets could just vanish like that... :?:

Spent 20 mins building up my right bicep popping in some new rivets so I could get to work and will probably take it off and completely refit over the weekend - but very very puzzled.

Lots of 'em e-bay - I got mine for about £5.00 and a big bag of mixed rivets for £10.

Builds the biceps nicely, but it does the job (on both cars)
