I want to remove mine when I get my car back from the mechanic. | |

| It is pretty simple mate, just a case of undoing about 4-5 nuts and bolts and the boot lid cover and job done. It will take half hour tops. | |

| 2 reasons.. 1) I've never used it. 2) It will help make the car look cleaner. (I'm going for the eurostyle look, that part was supposed to be a surprise ) | |

| If your going to do it weld it and respray it will look like it was meant to be that way. Having said that I reckon leave it | |
