Ok guys, and girls.

The crappy plastic spoiler on the back of my car, do i what? just yank it off, or is there some screws to undo? the bottom right side is very loose and i have a patch of rust which needs to be attended to.

- How do i repair rust on the body work... i am very ignorent when it comes to this kind of stuff, how do i repair rust? Do i need a plate welding to the back or this area and then filling it with P35/P40 filler? As i say i have no clue.

Also what would you advise looks better, leaving the spoiler off or not?
- I personally like the look with them off, what do you think?

Have it off, or on with a Saxo spoiler ontop of it...

Let me know people please

two screws up and underneath, then two on the inside if i remember correctly. then you pull it off, it may also be held in place with glue, but you should just be able to pull it off

Take it to a body shop and get them to repair it. If you don't know where to start its not a good idea to attempt it yourself! If you're insistent on diy... Sand down area, fill and smooth with filler, prime, paint and lacquer. If its a big area of rust then you'll have to get a plate put in.
