I tried dental floss but it keep breaking so just wegded a microfibre towel under an edge which i managed to lift with dental floss and then just used a sawing motion across...Took no more than 5 mins to remove but then getting rid of the adhesive residue underneath was a job and a half!

I have a carbon fiber spoiler coming in as well and thought about using the Betalink but read too many horror stories plus if I ever decide to sell the spoiler at least with the 3M tape it'll be easier to take off

Forget the horror stories mate...Its really not difficult to use with a bit of care and attention...

Id say if you have somewhere secure to park the car ie a garage and you dont need to worry about someone stealing the spoiler then 3m tape should be fine but then again if you do want to sell the spoiler at a later date I guess 3m tape is your only option but using Betalink will def ensure that the spoiler cant be removed in the future which obviously has its advantages and disadcantages

All you need is a heat gun (low setting) and fishing line to remove the spoiler. Use 3M adhesive remover to remove the glue residue.
