How is the BMW M Performance frontlip mounted?

Can somebody tell me please?
I`m asking since I would like to remove it easily after I hit the curb!

Mine was attached by several bolt/screws under center portion with end "pods" attaching by double sided tape. Very secure and easily removed I guess if one had to.

Does it use OEM screw locations? Or do you need to drill new holes into the bumper?

This is why I spent $1700 on interior M Performance parts. They won't get as abused as the exterior ones . I enjoy seeing and hearing (engine mods) my accessories while driving. Really don't spend much time sitting outside looking at how beautiful it looks, but I'm sure everyone else does.

Thanks in advance!
There are a bunch of different ones just search "BMW m235i" and do a little digging, some wrap around the sides of the blade, some just the front, etc. I seriously doubt one is any better quality than the other but from an aesthetic / style perspective you may have a preference.
