removing automatic spoiler from engine lid?

[thewightstuff]

has anyone got any instructions or tips on how to remove entirely the automatic spoiler unit from the engine deck lid on a C2.

ive got the technical manual and looked there but it really didnt seem to be much help, atleast not that i could fathom.

i dont want to dismantle the unit, just remove it completely from the lid so that i can bolt in another fixed spoiler in its place.

Most fixed spoilers I have seen replace the whole rear deck lid. Are you sure the one you are getting doesn't do the same?

yes, it seems to replace the electric/retractable portion only. it was a GT2 style insert

the carrera aero one does the same does it not giving you a grill for the space and a spoiler portion that sits up, the TSB for this doesnt help either as it refers to the technical manual for removal but thats about as clear as mud.

it may be academic anyways as i think im just going to bite the bullet and go full OEM GT3 aero which is the whole lid indeed and much easier to switch over. its just a case of removing air cowl, fan and latch, unplugging loom and then unbolting at the sides and switching everything over using the new loom to prevent spoiler warning light if my info seems correct.
