Depends a lot of the time people snap spoilers trying to remove them so be extra careful... Usually glued on but also check inside boot lid for 2 10mm nuts also holding some on  :wink:

Boot swap over is easy mate. Essentially all you do is drop the headlining at the back of the car undo the two bolts and disconnect the wiring and it's off.

There's a guide kicking around some were though, but it's one of the first things I did to mine.

I wouldn't try and remove the spoiler, I'd put money on it breaking. Swapping boots is easy enough, I posted a link yesterday in another topic about it.

Scan through the last couple of pages and take a look.
