I certainly used it to stick the side rubbing strip moulding on a 1984 Scirocco Storm once...believe me it certainly wasn't for coming off again thats for sure! The spoilers heavier than that granted, however id think it would be more than up to it. Hopefully someone will come along thats actually done it.

Kind Regards

One of this little rubber lip spoilers - probably not an issue. Wouldn't rely on it for anything more significant.

Saw a fibreglass roof skin come off a mini down the pit straight at Oulton Park once. That had been Tiger Seal'd on...

Oh dear! Someone left the door to facebook open?
Tigerseal is plenty strong enough to hold a spoiler in place, put you probably aren't intending to bond it to the boot lid, but to the paint on the lid, and the bond between the paint and the metal isn't likely to be strong enough.
What's wrong with fixing it as BMW intended?
