Re: Hofele Spoiler
Have had mine on for just about a year now and just glue. Has been tested at speeds over 160mph, hot weather and no problems. Read a post recently about what a tough time someone here had removing one that was glued on and ended up ruining the lip to get off

Re: Hofele Spoiler
Used the glue supplied and was more than enough. I'm sure the trick is seating it correctly and clamping. Stock spoiler comes off in seconds with just 4 bolts.

Re: Hofele Spoiler
No need to have screwed it. Even Hofele doesn't recommend that.

Re: Hofele Spoiler
Did you have to remove the clearcoat with abrasive or some similar process or just apply glue and directly clamp?
