does the rear spoiler have an inner panel as well as the outer, if so normally there is either a thread or bolts glassed to this to fit through boot skin. If not you can either glass in some cross pieces to screw into or unfortunately like a lot of mock ups you may just have to rivet through the outer into the boot but it doesn't look as classy.

Couldn't agree more. There are some pretty awesome glues around on the other hand; there is bound to be people that have just glued and clamped their spoilers on but I suppose that would require fibreglassing in another section to give a nice flat surface. Could anyone tell us if it's been done before because the only downside I can see is removing it.
