euro rear liip spoiler - how to install?
So I now have a stock mazda "european market" lip spoiler for my blue '8 but they said
- "mounting hardware not included". Nor, as it turned out, instructions!
It has four plastic anchors built into it it. Do I simply punch/drill four holes
in my trunk (where?, how?) or what? Any help much appreciated!

Best thing to do is to grind off the plastic pegs and use just the double sided tape to install. The pegs are there to help hold the spoiler in place, but the tape is more than enough if you install it properly. I had mine installed with just the tape and it held perfectly till I had it removed. Drilling holes is not a good idea ... unless you get Mazda to install it. Hope that helps,

Tape will be fine....
I wouldn't glue it on, you would never get it off. You may need to remove it one day should you ever need to repaint your trunk lid (touch wood).
