Haha that dewalt post is classic lol
I fitted my spoiler last nite
I had to glue it down as this aftermarket spoiler doesn't have any other way of fitting it alot of faffing about qas needed
I used upol tiger seal in white seems rock solid so far but 12 more hours of curing left and then will take the tape off

In the pic you can also see the EU spec passenger side rear light I fitted a few weeks ago Image

Looks good mate. I think I’d be tempted to send a couple of self tappers up through the roof into the spoiler if it has solid bases. Tiger seal is probably the best bond you can use but I’d still be worried it might come off after a while.

Honestly I am worried too lol I was thinking the same with self tappers, its possible, the only thing is spoilers fibreglass so i hope it don't crack lol

If you’ve put a good layer of tiger seal on first you should be fine if you pilot hole it first with a little drill bit. Then use a screwdriver slowly. I had to do something similar last week. My son has a Newish Corsa and fitted the Vxr roof spoiler with tiger seal. For the sake of compromise I put two self tappers on each side as it was slightly starting to lift.
