The roof spoiler has started to flake in the hot temps down here in SW France. Can anyone tell me a way of refurbishing it? Is it easy to remove?
Cheers

Worse - it's rubber.
It's held on with 6 plastic clips along the top edge and a bead of silicon or similar at the bottom edge. Here's a pic of one removed showing a clips and the remains of the silicon:

What is this E303?
If that doesn't work the scrap yards should have one round here. Does anyone know if all Tourings came with that rubber roof spoiler?

I think all tourings (bar MTech) came with the little spoiler - the Tech2 one is bigger and seems rare.
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap 
Praise the Lard... and pass the dripping!

Thanks for that, Morat. 
The tech 2 rear spoiler is rare but you should not have to much trouble finding a standard spoiler. They come up really well with a bit of Maguires Gold Class Trim Detailer. Just tried it on mine and it looks really good
