why not glue it onto your roof with some Bison Polymax? I did that a short time ago and it sits like a rock.

Would use glue, but atm im thinking of going a blue/black scheme, gloss black side strips, gloss black alloys and black spoiler. Reason i want it bolted is because when i come to sell the car possibly spray it blue (colour of the car).

Just use tigerseal it's more than strong enough to hold it. If you are going to spray it you can get it off and respray it anyway. Bolting is making it more difficult than it has to be in my opinion.

How do you get tiger seal off? I heard it was pretty hard to get off?

The hardest part about bolting it on is where to drill the holes making sure it is lined up properly. I wouldn't worry to much about drilling the boot just make sure the holes are in the right place by using a piece of card with a metal pin though it. Place it on the spoiler then line it up on the boot using it to score the position of where you need to drill. Then from the outside use a small pilot drill bit to push throw so that when you drill from the inside you can see where to go. Inside the boot move the plastic covers in the corner to the side and drill though. Size up drill bits before you start with the bolts to ensure you don't drill the holes bigger than the bolts. The hardest part is lining it up before you start drilling cause once you start with the drill even if you are only slightly off it would cause countless problems. As said above I would also suggest using tiger seal as well as the bolts to ensure max grip but if you want to possibly take it off later I wouldn't bother. I believe I still have the pictures on my home pc of the last one I did so will check and stick up a how to if I still have them.

I think you just get a sharp knife or blade against the seal and cut it, then probably some tar remover to get rid of the residue.

Tigerseal ftw Very Happy
