I would have thought they would just come right out? bolt and all. If its like a newage.

Apply a little lift to the spoiler as your turn them?

Or....get another bootlid without a spoiler.

sorry meant that the brass nuts are spinning on the bolt aswell whole thing turns as one so cant get undone

[mikey2]

do you mean the nut is spinning on the thread?? not undoing?? or do you mean the thread is spinning whilst trying to undo the nut? or heaven forbid, both??
if its spinning on the thread, then you can use a screwdriver or similar to put pressure on the nut whilst you turn it, tricky, but doable.
If the thread is turning whilst you are trying to undo, then you are best cutting the bolts down and drilling the threads.
If its both, cut the thread down, then hold the nut with pliers then drill the thread.
It'll be fun!!

Sounds like the bolt inserts in the spoiler that poke through into the boot are spinning inside the spoiler.As said try lift the spoiler to apply a little pressure to them,then try removing.
