    Spoilers or wing? Spoilers tend to be the smaller ones fixed all along the bootlid whilst the wing tend to be raised above the bootlid and affixed at either end. The former tend to be glued/bonded on whilst the latter tend to be bolted on.

    Well yea its bolted on (2 holes in the boot).

    Wondering how much it would cost for a complete removal (as in holes repaired and look as if it was never there).

    As well as being filled, the bootlid will need to be resprayed and presumably if its done perfectly, the back wings will receive a lick of paint also.
    Why are you taking it off? Is it that bad?
    As for cost - where are you based? Get some quotes but I would expect it to cost a few hundred.
    See http://www.carcraft.ie/ for example.

    €200~
    that would include removal of the spoiler (which you could do yourself to save money) and then the filling and priming and spraying of the entire bootlid.

    rough guess so dont quote me on it.

    Well its a car i want to buy. It looks alot better and less boy racey without the spoiler.

    And before you say why not buy one without it...i havn't seen any others for sale in the country.

    I was expecting it to cost a few hundred(primer, paint nd all).
