I'm looking to replace my stock spoiler. (The big one that sags in the middle and retains water) The problem is I have to believe that there are holes in the trunk that won't be covered by a replacement M5 style.
Anyone ever done this? Whats the expected cost to remove and repair the trunk to a level where I could either go without one for a while or add an adhesive installed spoiler? Does the entire trunk lid have to be repainted?
Also how about some recommendations for the replacement? I like the RD sport but it seems a bit pricey.
Thanks

I could be wrong, but I don't recall any of the BMW OEM spoilers to be attached with bolts/screws, simply tape (and/or BetaLink).
You can remove it yourself by using:
Vorsteiner
RDSport
ACS
Rieger
Hamann
You can remove it yourself by using:
- Hair dryer to warm up the adhesive. Be careful to not overheat the car's paint.
- Fishing line or dental floss to slowly "cut" through the adhesive. Patiently work your way from one side to another.
- Goo-gone to remove the left over adhesive. You may have to work its way off the car.
- Vorsteiner
- RDSport
- AC Schnitzer (ACS)
- Rieger
- Hamann
