Thanks for the comments  :smiley:

Have they stuck it on as an extension or complete because if it's an extension then the whole thing can be removed as shown in the link I sent earlier. Good luck with what ever you decide.  :happy2:
. Hi again mate, Spray shop said the glue they use is very strong and there's a99% chance the tailgate will be marked:(
You've misread my reply @bozz

It is an extention that's been fitted to the original spoiler or the complete spoiler fitted to the boot lid?.

You need photobucket to upload pictures by the way.
.  Hi mate, It's a complete spoiler glued to the original tailgate

I've had a maybe a bad idea,,,, cut the spoiler down to size a bit then have it wrapped in carbon film? It would make the spoiler smaller and cover where it has been cut!!! I did say it was maybe a bad idea

Hello Mate, Okay that makes more sense now and if it's bonded you'll have trouble taking it off. two options here, try our idea cuttimg it down and wrapping it or get another boot lid of the same colour with the oem spoiler mounted to it as they're very cheap around £50 and then just have it fitted?. where you based?. what colours the car?.
