obviously its easy to remove/fit. fitted one before, but never seen the aftermath of what it leaves behind when you remove one. is it bad?
i can cope with a few tiny holes where the screws go but whats the glue like?

depends who fitted it, as standard you may only be looking at a few holes with a seal around them, if it's aftermarket there could be an entire tube of tiger seal under there lol.

As above.
Bit like reg plate tape. Runs around the edge of the spoiler. That's left behind as I cut mine off with a blade.

Can see tape left behind -


Can see tape again, but also the securing points for where the base plate attaches.


More tape and hole where bottom of spoiler bolts on -
