Bodyshop should be able to fix that with some urethane glue and/or heat gun prior to painting

I tried both... trust me, neither works. The fibreglass isn't strong enough to be heated and manipulated and even the expensive automotive sikaflex I bought couldn't keep the kit up against the car.

if you were to buy it, your best option would be to fill the gap with black silicone.

You rightYou cannot heat up fibreglass ,it will soften and loose rigidity!Abs you can ,but in this case the spoiler is already fitted and its too big !
You solution to resolve this is to cut the sikaflex around the spoiler that is bulging out ,just enough, to have access to the back of it and trim off the bumper so the spoiler will then fit.Then you obviously need to silkaflex it again.
Those who have bought one and about to fit it,should trim the back of the spoiler and the bumper ,for a perfect fit.This is how I have done them !In this case you need to remove material,but in most cases with these fibreglass panels parts,I usually need to fill them in .
Suppose,some will not want to trim the bumper ,but its not as if you are ever going to remove the spoiler !This is cheap fibre glass but will give you an excelent finish ,just needs more work than your OE spoiler.
A good spray job with the added flex mix to the clearcoat and it will be like OE
