General Need help removing abarth bits

Yes, usual way is Tiger Seal/Sikkaflex. On the side skirts there are likely to be a few self tappers, too, so get them out first. Very rarely, the spoilers are bolted on, too (just check inside the hatch).

Removal is difficult. A hot air gun helps, but mostly it's down to inserting a very thin and flexible blade into the Sikka layer and cutting away until you can pull them off.

Some body shops have a vibrating cutting tool, some screen fitters use a flexible wire saw. Either of these would help.

Why do you want to get them off?
 
ok they will most probably have some form of panel bond on which means you should use a bit of fishing wire and run it along the edge to saw through any glue or double sided tape that may have been used.

be sure to check for screws at each end of the skirts and also on the spoiler inside the boot lid.

be very carefull and dont get tempted to pull because if there is adhesive there it will rip the paint off
 
I dont mind ripping the paint off the body as im breaking the car,

Iv found the screws on the skirts but not on the rear spoiler.

Would hot water do the same job as a hot air gun?
Thanks for the quick responses
