its shud be a black plastic plate molded to the contor of your boot. if you didnt get one then the best thing is to stick the spoiler on, sounds abit daft but its perfectly fine and loads of people do it. make sure you get some good glue thou, most people use tigerseal.

hi i got a spoiler off a car at the scrapers that obviously never had a backing plate,with the bolts i dipped the ends in black ink and just kept offering it to my car till the marks where in the right place drilled the holes and bolted it on but i also used a really strong glue called tiger seal its great you could just use that alone but i just wanted the added security that the spoiler wont fly off so bolted it aswel hope that helps sarah x
