Removing the spoiler.
« on: September 18, 2006, 09:07:35 AM »
I can see where the trunk lip spoiler is bolted on.  Looks pretty simple to remove.  However it appears like that spoiler has really bonded with the trunk surface.  I don't want to risk damaging it IF I remove it for painting.

Anybody have experience removing the spoiler?

...likely?  I don't want to have to replace anything until I save up enough for new half axles.

mine wasn't ever when I had the car.  I know the e36 m3's were thought, that glue is freakin insane.  You have to run a wire under there and it takes forever to get off.

yep it should just pull right off...there may be some road gunk if you haven't taken it off before so it may take a little force.  School is goin good.  I can't wait for it to snow lol.
