Only a quickie, due to change the rear spoiler , for a trd part carbon . how do you take the old one off, are there bolts securing it on from inside the boot, or just bonded on with some strong adhesive ? sorry bit niave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Open the boot lid, remove the plastic guard on the underside. There are 2 bolt each side of the spoiler you will need to undo. There are also pinch clips either side so don't be surprised when you have to give it a firm yank (ooer) to get it off. Watch your paint work and your face when you do this as both may get damaged Its an easy job. Also when removing the plastic trim watch your fingers on the edge of the plastic. It's damn sharp and I gave myself a superb sliced finger when I did it (Medic!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 As above. 5 minutes and very simple:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 As above. 5 minutes and very simple:) Getting the plastic trim off can be a pain as the clips holding it in place are seriously tight, well they were on my car Make sure you ease the trim as close to the clips as you can and yes the edge is bloody sharp. Also dont drop the bolts as they make a mess if they land on the edge of the quarter panel Easy job though but easier 2 handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMachine Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Also, just to add - make sure when removing your bolts, (if working on your car at the roadside), that there are no grids directly near were you are working! I didn't have an otter to hand to fetch mine and my arm just wasn't quite long enough. Short by about 6ft. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
