Hello! Has anybody attempted and is there a guide somewhere on how to achieve?
Do you have a CSI/sport kit? and do you mean removal of the lower spoiler that fits to the nose?
Hello! I have the stock non sport as per the picture and would like to install the CSI one.
Unfortunately the answer is still the same.

£405+VAT in 2015 for part No.1.
This shows the pegs on the spoiler that clip in to the holes on the nose.

There is a screw on each corner, accessible from behind the wheel arch liners.

You will need to remove arch liners and duct work/covers from underneath the car to gain access to the interface of these two parts. I would imagine it is possible to do this with the nose attached, but I have only split these two parts with the whole front off the car.
Don't forget you will still need to source several extra CSI parts to make the spoiler secure on the car. Good luck.
EDIT: Here's one I removed earlier, I wouldn't like to attempt to get between all that ducting and the nose to try to part those clips. For me it is a nose off job, unless anyone can chime in.

Awesome pics thanks!!
The two main fixing bolts are located behind the side grills next to the kidney grills, they bolt through the bumper shocks seen in the pic below.
There are the four visible screws on the hood (bonnet) slam to remove also.
Six (I think) expanding plastic rivets around those side grills.
Air ducting clip on the R/H side below the headlight, accessible from underneath when the arch liner is out, if you are lucky.
Head light washer pipe, once you pull the nose free a couple of inches, don't think you have that.
This relates to the csi kit, so some bits are slightly different.
In the pic I removed the front with the ducting left on the car. I have done it both ways, I.E. remove this with the nose and without, depends what fixings you leave in place.
A last note of caution: All the above can be done solo, But once you pull the front more that a couple of inches forwards, an assistant on the other side to you is a big help if you don't want to damage things.
