2000 plate spoiler removal

How the hell do I do it? I've had a poke about on google and it seems to be a mix of "Get a new boot without one" and "it's a pain in the ****".
I don't have to worry about brake lights, as my spoiler is pure poverty spec.

You need to take out all the boot lining on the inside of the boot lid and unbolt it. I think it's only held on by 2 bolts. And there's a third hole for the brake light wiring (which you may or may not have)
But what are you going to to about the holes?
Because the lip spoiler won't cover them up...
EDIT: Might be worth seeing if you can find some one with a non-spoiler boot who wants to swap, and change the whole thing over. It's probably the same amount of work.

You never know, there may be someone on here with the same colour who wants a spoilered boot.

19-09-2018, 09:49 AM #4I looked into it myself as I wanted to upgrade to the slightly higher TRD/Sport spoiler. And the holes were a problem with that too.
