cut the four bolts off and stick the small black spoiler part and stick it down with no more nails or evo stick. then use good double sided tape to do the actual spoiler.

i would recommend using some screws at least combined with evostick etc

my fitting kit instructions say......

get some plastic strips and place them where the holes for the screws on the back of the spoiler originally were, make sure they overhang the spoiler so you can see them from the front

drop the spoiler in place and stick the flaps sticking out of the side of the spoiler to the car so they act as locators for the screw holes behind

the fitting kit i got recommends a 3mm drillbit to drill the holes, do them one by one and screw each one in as you go, miss fires with the drillbit can be filled with some putty or whatever and they shouldnt be seen as the spoiler sits on top of it

once you got all 4 in, go mad with the evostick aswell for a certain stick! dont wanna be racing down the bypass and have it fling off! :lol:
