I've got them on mine and look exactly like that silver one. They really change the front end, make it more purposeful without looking chavvy.

I fitted them by using no more nails strips, the bottom section should have holes located on them and they have the be screwed using the screws holding the wind deflector on, this pulls the bottom edge up with the no more nails holding the top bit tight. Ten mins to fit, make sure the surface on the bumper has been cleaned with a good degreaser first though otherwise it won't stick properly.

Well worth it.

For sure.
Get some Isopropyl Alcohol or Isopropanol to wipe every bit of wax off.

Or Autoglym tar remover to clean the paint.

If they are a good fit: Double sided no more nails red tape will do it.

If they are crap: You'll need araldite.

I have the same ones:

I thought you used screws Mega?

MEGA · 02-08-2011, 11:01 AM

That would fall in to the "If they are REALLY crap" section that I neglected to mention

raf555 · 02-08-2011, 12:02 PM

thanks for the tips guys.

i got some of that 'beta' stuff that bmw sell with spoilers, would that be any good?

SteveF1 · 02-08-2011, 01:42 PM

If its good enough to hold spoilers down it should be good enough to hold the splitter down.

The no more nails I used has kept my splitters really firm to the bumper, no movement whatsoever.
