Default Help - Are there any DIYs on how to remove the F-Sport spoiler?

I'm planning on wrapping my F-Sport spoiler with a carbon fiber vinyl. Can someone link me to a thread or tell me how to take it off?

Thanks guys.

Should be straight forward. Remove the trunk pannels and unscrew the nuts.

It should be 3 screws + 3M tape.

Try and wrap it with vinyl with the spoiler on the car. If you have a heat source i shouldnt be a problem.

About to do the exact same thing for my spoiler...

It is 2 nuts, 5 clips and 3M tape.

It will take a bit of work to get it off, I think, but they're right, remove trunk liner, undo nuts, try to release the clips, and then I'd use fishing line and/or heat to get the 3M tape off.

Yup there is 7 holes total in the trunk and the 3M factory tape is very strong.
