Not as easy as LR makes it sound in the handbook. I've recently changed a factory spoiler (no knowledge of the Brooklands variant) & it took two of us 3 hours !
I admit that included removing the metal brackets & re-fixing them to the replacement spoiler but allowing for the inevitable rusted bolts the job is no fun
Can you not get at the spotlight fixing bolts from behind? You might find that easier if you remove the wheels, or at least turn the steering to full LH / RH lock.

The fixings at the ends (into the front wings) are strange expanding thingys, mine just sheared off so were replaced by bolts/nuts. The two large domed set-screws in the centre (holding the # plate on) go into threads in the spoiler, these require a star tool & if stripped then it's another nut 'n bolt job but watch the length as there is pipework behind the valance.

Hope it was worth it in the end!
Look forward to seeing a photo.
