I'm thinking of replacing the small rear lip spoiler on my Motorsport with a larger one in a similar style. Does anyone know how the current one is fitted, stuck on? if it is, how to remove it without damage to the paint?

I have read here there are holes with bolts holding it down.

If I was you I would buy a second bootlid, build it up the same as the first, except with the wing on it and swap them over monthly at will. :)

Slightly larger one as fitted to SS should bolt on...

The small spoiler is stuck on with double sided tape.

Do you know how to remove it without damaging the paint? I don’t want to get to a point where I am damaging the paint and have to continue regardless.

Heat it up and gently pull it up.

Correct. I removed my little stick on spoiler no issue. I used a hair dryer, fishing line, lots of eucalyptus oil and paitence, plenty of it!

a similar style, just a bit larger. I think it would be like the one on the SS

For SS one you would have to drill holes etc to mount it correctly. Why bother ?
