Went good i parked the car as close to the side wall of my garage & put the sikaflex in the gaps then put a piece of round wood inbetween the spoiler & garage wall to apply pressure. then grabbed a towel / rag & wiped excess glue off. leave like this till glue dry's. caution excess glue can dry on paint outside the spoiler lip. may need to sand off with 3m wet & dry sanding pads

hope this helps
