Which tape for color match reflectors?

Hi everyone,

I purchased some color match reflectors for my M3 from the forum however, I'm not sure what adhesive or double sided tape to use. I tried go see if the 3M tape I have would work but it seems like this tape has to be paper thin.

Thanks for the advise in advance!

This is what I use regularly with no issues what so ever. More important than the thickness of the tape is that fact the you HAVE to remove all the old adhesive from inside the bumper cover, otherwise it'll never sit flush.

Where can I find this tape? Amazon? Autozone?

And standard double sided 3m tape is fine. Can pick up at autozone.

Amazon would be your best if you want to get exactly the same but as Schultz28 said, you should be okay with any similar width/thickness double sided auto body tape
