does the spoiler have the bolts attached? (i.e a brand new spoiler) or does it have the bolts missing (ripped off/second hand?)

I did have one of the spoilers for a Mk5 polo - and there are no bolts to my knowledge - Its glued on to the back of the car
there are magnets in the spoiler to hold it place.

my spoiler is bolted on but we had to drill holes into the bootlid!

... most spoilers on a hatchback car are just bondered on, and will have no problems, just get it straight!

No bolts just bonded

Theres a nice instruction guide with it (which I have) Want a PDF copy made up?

Very easy to fit, just have to sand the paint down bond it with special glue and tape it down and leave it for 24hrs to set then all is done

The original Spoiler that carries the part number: 6N0 827 933 D

fits directly on Boot lid that carries the part number: 6N0 827 025 AF

This boot lid is fitted only in GTI models. For non GTI models you have to drill the boot lid. i did this before but i don't recommend this as the aerodynamic differs and this will make the car unstable on high speeds.

Original spoiler also carries a hefty price tag of Â£150 from a dealer!

Part number for the add on spoiler is 6N0 071 640 B 9AX. This is the one that bonds on and has magnets

Part numbers above are for the GTI spoiler and the one that bolts into the chassis.
