Self tapping screws will hold it on fine.

Yes, DECENT self tappers, get some stainless ones from Screwfix, mine were the ones with countersunk heads and were fitted in stainless screw cups from the same place.

And when fitting, DO NOT overtighten them! You are only screwing into plastic, overtightening will simply rip the threads apart and lead to your spoiler flying off at speed........
Tighten until the screw is seated, then stop. If using screw cups, they should not move.
