Was looking through the forum and saw that there was no write up for removing your rear spoiler/wing
Still had mine on and decided it was time to take it off
Tools:
Spanner that will fit the bolts (cant remember what size, sorry)
Car polish
Wet rag
Ducket tape
bit of elbow grease
HERE WE GO>>>
Step 1:
Open the boot and remove the bolts with the spanner
Step 2:
Leave the top nuts on incase the spoiler comes free so it wont fall and hit your car
Step 3:
under the boot lid is the wiring for the LED break lights in the wing...locate this wire which has a clip (DO NOT CUT)
Step 4:
Un-clip this clip
Step 5:
Take the nuts off that you left on to hold the spoiler while you unclipped the plug and slowly pull each side up evenly, pull the clip through the whole
Step 6:
Now your wing is off there may be some dirty marks on the boot where the wing was fixed. i wiped away most of the dirt with a wet rag and then used some car polish to get it nice and shiny...repeat this step until no dirt is around
Step 7:
Your probably wondering what to do with the holes in your boot, i cut pieces of duck tape and stuck them over the holes which looks un-tidy but unless you have the money to get them filled and sprayed (i dont atm) then the tape is the way to go.
then step back and admire your ride
hope this helps :thumbsup:
