How hard/easy is it to remove the spoiler?

[Nef]

need to remove my spoiler on the cupra, how easy is it to do?

thanks

do you mean splitter? under the front bumper
or
rear spoiler on the roof above rear window?

if splitter, it was probably screwed on, so undo these.
was not designed to go on the bumper type you have, based on sig pic, so had to be attached by other means.
for rear spoiler, need to remove inner boot lining to get at the screws, undo and remove. a few guides on advise to do this kicking about

For rear spoiler have to give the cover a yank off, then theres 3 X 8mm bolts, 2 are hidden with rubber caps, then theres 2 platic clips which release if you give it a pull, then simply disconect the 3rd brake light.

dont think so mate,

thanks lads, does the spoiler split in half, like top half and bottom half?

^ not sure about that, but there are two differemt sizes. LCR is definitely bigger than my tdi 110.

 

[Nef]

it is just the cupra ones that are the same size then?

The R spoiler is one compleat moulding so no dont think they split in half.

It does but it's not supposed to.
I did this partially to mine, oops.
There are tow bolts holding the high level brake light in, these are under pieces of tape. You'll need a long screw driver, aye very long and quite alot of patience.
Mine was a major PITA

If you have an 8mm ratchet ring spanner, you can get into the middle nut without removing the inner tailgate trim.

Same spanner very useful for front bumper removal/refit.
