Spoiler Removal

[insty]

Hi, SAU.

Trying to remove my old spoiler so I can replace it with a S2 one.

I currently have the S1 Oval like one and can't seem to remove it.

I have removed the 4 bolts (which I can see) and it doesn't want to budge.

Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing a few bolts?

Any help would be great.

Cheers.

it will be stuck on with a sikaflex type of glue. that black stuff. not really much u can do but pry it offor yank it.

Yeh, once those bolts are off, hit it with your palm a bit to get it moving slightly, then push a small screwdriver in and lever it out. Thats what we did with hoony's car. Also, we got some fishing line and used that to cut the glue. Just be careful, because the spoiler came flying off and left a HUGE scratch on the boot lid... Oops!

Thanks guys.

Did what Steve said and ripped it off.

Some reason my brake light on this spoiler isn't working also, might need to get it checked :3

shouldnt be any glue on them unless they have been replaced dodgy in the past - rubber gasket and a couple of push in plastic lock tabs should be it after removing the bolts.

S1 and S2 spoilers use the same holes?? ...

If changing s1 to s2 is it "plug and play?"

Yep, all the holes on the S2 spoiler are identical to the S1.

Same as the spoiler brake light plug.

i had a go at removing my r33 s2 spoiler, well suffice to say it was a sh!te attempt, couldn't find any bolts or anything? all i could see under the bootlid was the struts holding it up

you get to the 4 bolts from underneath the bootlid - you will need to peel back the carpet lining to get to them from memory.

4 bolts + yank it = result
