    Best way to remove a Tarmac spoiler?

    I want to return to a standard GT Turbo spoiler and am looking to remove the Tarmac spoiler that has been on the bootlid since God knows...

    Currently the GT Turbo is in a lock-up so have no access to get a heatgun or any other appliance to have a go.
    Ive tried a thin saw blade between the spoiler and bootlid but its stuck on with some strong stuff!
    Brute force isnt coming up trumps either and has resulted in a couple of cracks on the top.

    Any idea's would be appriciated
