Just need to get it sprayed and fitted now

Any recommendations on fixing tape? Will go with 3M I think but don't which one is better for spoiler applications

3m good brand make sure whatever you get is VHB ( very high bond)

Wouldn't last five minutes Neil. I used a bonding agent I bought off eBay (I got grey as it matched my car, easier to paint the edges afterwards). One tip, use liberally and do not skimp. Thoroughly roughen the underside of the spoiler (and the boot lid mounting points) and don't paint it where the bonding will be, or you will be doing it twice.

Does anyone know the difference between K1 and K2 adhesives? And would they be the better option than the last one?

 

[Stevo7682]

by the looks of it you want k2
K1 seems to be for bonding metals specifically aluminium

 

[t-tony]

The Dinitrol adhesive will be fine for this job Neil. If you want some tips for fitting pleas PM me.

Looks smart,
Sorry but can't help picturing what 'adhesive failure' would look like at 80mph on the M5.

Is that a spoiler and are you planning to tape it or glue it to the car...?

Adhesive technology has come a long way

Lots of modern aircraft are 'glued' together

Duck tail spoiler and will be using this adhesive.

Mine has been tested we'll above 80. How do you imagine BMW fit them?

Tony.

On the track or a private road of course

Wheels dropped at the tyre shop ready for when my tyres come in next month and another delivery today

Oh yes I've no doubt, just appreciation for the importance of choosing the right stuff!

 

[Neilc]

So, do I leave them black or paint them Stirling grey to colour match the car?

You can go grey for the outer ring only.
Or gloss black
Or grey ring, gloss black slats...
Or reverse!
What colour are the wheels on the car - could tie in with in with those.
Small item bit so many choices!
