you can do either, drill holes and bolt it, or just use double sided tape, orr bond it on with tigerseal or something like it,

yeahh that's the stuff. Not sure, using double sided tape wouldn't give a very strong bond though? Easiest option, mind.

I would drill holes and bolt it to make sure secured properly, more safer for others drivers traveling behind you then no chance it fly off lol

urm, i'll have a quick over the interwebs, all will show you what I find, if any. If you live in Brum there's a corsa centre down my ends and he does spoilers.

I bolted mine spolier to my corsa 3 door with 4 bolts, but the last 2 holes didnt line up so i used a bonding putty solution, and it works a treat

Only thing you have to watch out for is that you dont want a gap where the top of the spoiler comes to the roof of your car.
Like 'em low ;)
