whats the best way
the best way is to unscrew it and then take it off.

Pretty straight forward and no other way to do it, will be no probs.

But be careful with the upper spoiler's central post, they can sometimes crack...

be careful you dont strip the threads in the centre support for the top wing,its only a bonded in plate and they corrode,also make sure you have a new gasket for it as it will most likely be knackered

well it's done now and was easy peasy, I will be replacing the gasket as it is a bit cracked and have cleaned up all the parts that needed doing,will thoroughly wax everything before putting it back together so should last another 12 years hopefully
thanks for the advise

I thought they were still available
Does anyone know if the specially shaped double sided sticky black tape stuff that holds the spoilers in place along with the bolts is still available
