Spoiler removal (TONS of pics)

Good work I actually like the new spoiler even though it may not be stock. Its even better that u installed it yourself! Keep up the good work.

Nice, I like the sleek appeal of the reg 3 spoiler. Good job.

old thread revival...i love how darkspeed's spoiler looks on my 3! the only thing that sucks is that people are always asking me if it's an MS3.

how did you guys change spoilers? the MS3 spoiler has the rear top brake light while the regular 3 hatch's have the brake like inside the cabin? did you guys swap that as well?

exactly. you'll need to drill a hole as well, and the plug types are different. i'll post pics on this thread or another later on.

Pulling spoiler off

I have on done the four bolts, but how much force do i have to use when pulling it off? I felt i pulled pretty hard and it didnt seem to come off it would wiggle around. I dont want to damage the car? Any certain spot i need to put from?

i started at the sides. keep your hands on it. don't be scared...you wont break it unless you drop it.

Question about the speed spoiler.. Do the two pieces separate? It appears to be two pieces, the part with the LED Brake Light, and the raised spoiler.

 

[drewzilla1981]

i do believe it does, but i've never done it, so i can't tell you how. but if you go on eBay there are just upper spoilers for sale.
