Depends if it's sealed on or not. If it is sealed, then it gets a little difficult.

As it was fitted when I put the tailgate on I am not sure.... the similar items describe it as a "bolt on" spoiler but where would the bolts be.... short of removing the tailgate to find them I wondered if anyone know

Sometimes the sides will pop off and reveal the bolts, but I don't think the bi plane works like that.
Try popping open the boot and look for bolts or panels. If it's not sealed on, there has to be some way of getting to the bolts.

Tried that..... would they be under the two hinge brackets and where the cables go through.....possible. As predicted the MSA have refused it on the logbook because they say its not a standard spoiler for the 206 or one that is currently homologated, I therefore have to remove it and re-submit new photos for the logbooking.... and the first rally is end of January

I think it will be tiger sealed on Mac, you can remove it but I think it will damage the tailgate.

You're sure there's no bit of the spoiler that pulls off to reveal the bolts?

 maybe you could replace it with plastic? is the glass at all structural? Would probably benefit in the long run if you rally it.
I might be talking out of my a**e though, I haven't got a clue about this stuff

Haha, seems worth a go. Let the MSA b***h about that instead.
Shame though, I like the bi-plane on your pug
