   mk2 spoilers are connected through holes in the back window, if you don't have these in yours its either the risky option of drilling your glass, or attaching with tigerseal

   or if you had some cash, you can just get a mk2 new rear window with holes

    my spoiler on my mk 2 1.1 is tigersealed on and the tigerseal is hardly noticable at all unless you are actually looking for it. the only time is really obvious is when the boot is up.
    
    imo i'd just tigerseal it on mate as its cheap and will do the job just as good as any other method (unless you plan on removing it or something like that lol)

    this is what i did:
    
    - wipe the window with some white spirit or something to clean it first, then cover the part of the spoiler that will be in contact with tigerseal.
    
    - put the spoiler in place then wipe away any excess tigerseal that leaks out from under the spoiler with a paper towel.
    
    - while holding the spoiler in place, use as much masking tape as you want to make sure the spoiler stays in place while the tigerseal dries. (to help keep the spoiler in place, as well as masking tape i used some rope to hold my boot half open so the rear window was parallel to the ground).
    
    it may be easier to get someone to help you tape the spoiler while you hold it as it can be a bit awkward if not.
    
    hope that helps
