Installing type-s rear spoiler without drilling

I recently got rear-ended by an armored truck, prior to getting hit I cut the base bumper off and attach the type-s rear underbody spoiler. This time I got the Type-s bumper and the spoiler. Just out of curiosity, Has anyone attached the spoiler without drilling the holes in the bumper?

it's possible, however the chance of it coming off is quite a bit higher since It'll only have screws holding it on at the wheel arches and then the double sided tape at the top. It's best to drill holes and clip it and secure it properly. Are you considering taking it off in the future and leaving it off? If yes, then my suggestion is not to put it on in the first place.

The only way I would consider taking it off is if I were to part the car out. But I'm really asking because the guys at the shop really dont know what they are doing. If they drill wrong then the bumper is screwed. I really don't mind installing it myself, but I dont have time. Ive already invested time overseeing everything else they have been doing wrong. Ive tried looking for a DIY so I can print and take it to them but have not been successful. The instructions from the dealer will probably confuse those idiots

If there is a DIY for type-s underbody spoiler please send me link
