Got parts from Toyota today and fitted the lot, these include new front number plate holder, front badge, bulbs and tail gate stoppers.
I had heard all about the stoppers, how you had to heat the screws, and blah, blah, blah. So was expecting a big fight, but all was easy..........

Big Philips screwdriver and a big man on the other end of it turning it forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards, forwards and backwards ?a bit at a time until the thread lock finally gave up. What a result I don't see the rear spoiler bouncing now when I hit a bump http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Got the dent man coming tomorrow to fix my door.

This is the stopper from the near side and the cause of the problem.
