    I guess ur talking about the boot lid?
    Firstly you'll have to disconnect the wires from the std one & u do the bolts on each of the lift arms.
    Install of the new lid is just the reverse of the old lid , just make sure the lid is lined up properly, so it sits correctly.

    Also did u get a wiring loom for the spoiler brake light?

    Even the Exec has the wiring loom installed in the boot lid for the spoiler light. You just need to be careful when removing the wiring from the existing boot lid, to ensure none are damaged, then rethread them through the new lid after it's fitted. The spoiler light connector is clipped up inside the lid, just to the right of centre, where the lid folds over from the vertical rear surface to the horizontal top surface.
