Oh, I have *lots* of experience with this :)
The simplest, cheapest and quickest method, is to hacksaw the snapped
studs off level with the spoiler, and then put a drill straight through.
Then just use standard nut/bolt with big washers and plenty of copper
grease
I think Aldi are doing a nice nuts and bolts kit with big penny washers
in it at the moment :)
