M3 Boot Lip Spoiler Installtion

Got my M3 lip spoiler all painted and ready, as the weather was dry went ahead to install it, while I did it I done some pictures so it might help others if they decide to install themselves.

1. Lay some soft material place the spoiler on top to stop scratching it.



2. Turn the spoiler over and measure 5 strips of double sided 3M tape, make sure the 2 edge ones are cut pointed to fit the contour and stick the tape.





3. Place the spoiler on the boot before removing the 3M backing from tape and make sure you 100% happy where is should be, then get some sticky labels or masking tape and stick to contour of the edge this will guide you perfectly when you remove the backing and stick the spoiler remember once down it is near impossible to take apart without damaging the tape.



4. Also put guide stickers to centre and sides so can align it perfectly later. Now clean the area where spoiler will be attached with a cloth then wipe it with alcohol wipe so no grime is there.



5. Now remove the backing from 3M tape and stick it starting from one side and working across make sure it aligns with the markings you placed.



6. Now remove the markers from the body and you have installed a new spoiler.

Lovely, seen a few guides and not seen the marking tapes suggestion before, makes so much sense!

May well be referring to this in a few weeks! Thanks.

Where did you buy the spoiler from?

Guides help you so much otherwise it is hit and miss, the spoiler came from ebay from international seller the quality and finish is top notch.
