It's very hard but it can be done if it's stuck on with the same stuff as astra door mouldings. Tunnies method is correct.

Also some a method a painter I know uses is, use a Stanley knife to cut the glue. Dunno how he does it without damaging mind you.

Take a wide chiesel and bash the boot lid all the way around the spoiler denting the metal away from the spoiler, it works a treat :y

The last one I tried to wire off was a nightmare and messy, gave up after third of the way through, sell it complete with the boot.  :y
