Continued
As can be seen in the first picture I put some tape onto the end of each of the bolts to avoid scratching the spoiler during removal.
You can see in the last photo the mount points used in my installation, There are a couple of extra pre drilled holes that are not used (One between the 3rd & forth red arrows). I have also put a little piece of black rubber( just above third red arrow) to stop potential rubbing of the spolier and bumper.
I number and screw back on all the parts to avoiding losing them. You can see the black rubber washers, you can adjust the size of these to help get the gap correct when refitting the spoiler, I used some old rubber door stoppers which where of similar diameter, cut them down to the required thickness and drilled a hole through the middle.
I have also marked with the green arrow what could potentially be part of the US SPEC mounting point, looks like you would undo/ loosen a nut and then you could pull it off. Raymond had also mentioned some rivets that had been used, I am guessing that where I had the nuts and bolts, Raymonds installation possibly used rivets?
Hope this helps
Mike
