   It's the way I'm doing mine, Yes it's fine and you can remove it with chemicals or a heat gun

   You have to drill through the glass in the rear windscreen to attached correctly.

    Hey guys.
    
    I was wondering about two things. Would it be better for me to either buy the whole tailgate of a VTR or just to buy the spoiler and fit that?
    
    Also, is it possible to switch my current tailgate from a Citroen Saxo 1.1 and fit a VTR one? As in, are they different shape, or not?
    
    Thanks so much,
    Ed

    nice.. bump a thread from 2007! lol
    
    
    they are all the same shape.. just buy the spoiler and tigerseal it on.
    no point changing the whole tailgate.
