Nooooooooh. I do think mark had the best idea! That rare spoiler must be fit for the bin now. Can you drive on water with those tyres now ;-) Car still looks the part though! Nice to see its own thread.

when you think about removing the splitter don't just pull it off, there are screws that hold it on, I know you cant see them David but they are there a bit like there is a solvent that body shops use to remove trim, like the spoiler. :sealed

No the front splitter is staying! Its grown on me,I googled and asked various bodyshops about removing the adhesive,it was more like rubberised cement? They all pretty much said their stuff wouldn't touch it and would need to be sanded.

Sorry David I'm only messing with you. It was windscreen sealant we used to fix the spoiler in place and we took it off once because it wasn't on staight but maybe it came off because the sealant hadn't gone off as much.
