There`s a blue scirocco blowin warm wind into my face
The sun is shining on the underside of the bridges
And there`s cars going by with smiles in the windows

Re: new spoiler
You'll definitely have a few holes to fill. Not sure about how it fits on/whether or not you can use the existing fittings.
You might find it easier to replace the whole tailgate and paint a small spoiler one in the right colour.

Re: new spoiler
It will fit in the existing lower holes just above the curve of the hatch.
Upper holes will need to be welded and painted if its a keeper, or if you just want to trial for now, cover the old holes with new black tape. Or as Ed says, you could try and source an early hatch.
