Simon - it should be screwed in, check from underneath.

So screw and glue? Or just glue?

There is 4 holes on the right side, one really big - and another 3 holes on the other side.

I had ripped paint around all of the holes just from the screws being in there, and the glue they used is horrible to get off.

Once you get it off it really needs to be professionly re-painted or its going to look shocking. (I had to put my spoiler back on for now :shock: )

Great info Dodger. I think there are quite a few owners who want to rid themselves of the large spoiler for a cleaner appearance. Looks like they'll have to go the expensive route if they want it to happen.
