Body kit - how easy to remove?

Advice from an expert above.
The bits will have been stuck on, whether by SikaFlex/TigerSeal or some other, once on, NOT easy to get off, and certainly not without leaving a mess behind.
Either live with it or take it to a decent bodywork place.
Note: the cheapest are often NOT the best

OK, thanks.
So, it could be done...?
I'm considering buying a wagon with such a bodykit. I'm not usually a fan of such kits, and indeed am buying a wagon as my daily as wagon's have the more subtle image (got the Type R for hooning
).
It's also possible I may lower the height (slightly - max 1"). My commute is rural lanes with a few yumps so am concerned about catching the spoiler, and also the scoob just looking even more chav'd up...
Of course, I may be able to live with it, after all, it's not a perfect world

..........I tried to remove a spoiler once which was bonded with tigerseal, wrecked the boot lid 
Covered it over with a bigger STi spoiler and the rust is starting..
How about trying to get some premium silver replacements from a breaker and swap them over as it might be cheaper than geting a bodyshop to sort it all out ?
