Looking forward to hearing how you go with this
I looked at tackling this myself with a mate (as I did all my previous E90 M3 carbon lip / spoiler mods myself) but in the end I decided to get BMW to install it on my F80 as its not as straight forward a job as I had anticipated, even with the instructions. In any case, your car will look mean!

Didn’t get around to working on the car last weekend.
Did this on Sat morning, and for the rest of the weekend I was not in the mood to work on the install. Fruiting McDonalds Drive-Through. |

job done. Wasn't too difficult, although not having a correct plastic rivet tool was more painful than I thought. I have ordered one just to finish off the rivets.
One thing I am not sure about is the last part in the instructions fittings these. Not very clear on what to do with them and I don't think this looks right. Thoughts anyone? |

I have some splitters that I grabbed from the classifieds and I'm wondering the same thing. There is double sided tape on them but I'm not sure if the previous owner added that or it is factory.

I have removed a spoiler with betalink it required a lot of fishing lines and a lot of elbow grease to remove the residue. Paint was still intact afterwards no damage. However, if you were using it on your carbon splitters, there’s no chance you could remove it.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/part...&q=51192410360 the plastic version is actually meant for painting, that's how bmw debuted it all those many years ago, but most just leave it raw unpainted |

Ah, that makes sense now. That white one above looks good and the one we have on our car has been painted red. It is quite striking and not sure if I would have painted it but it came that way.
I agree the matt black is more subtle and still does the job and is still one of the best looking F series lips. I would also imagine that the carbon one would have cost a lot more, but then painting is also extra! |
