They just sit on the ledge of the wing, BMW did mine on the sport.

I've got them on my M3. Sweep fitted mine, they look the biz.

NB; get them OEM. Do not get them from C3 etc. They are not the same and they make the bonnet stick (believe me I know).

Regards

P.S if you need anymore pics Falkster (or anyone else for that matter) just let me know.

You do know these increase the underbody temps by quite a large amount don't you?

In fact on a cold day you can warm your hands on the air rushing out the wheel arch. :D

bonnet seals were sport evo only too, as part of the improved aerodynamics for that model.

normal m3s just have the 3 piece bumper to grille support pannel seal.
cheers,

can't see it making that much of a difference, the normal seal goes all the way down the sides and allong the back of the bonnet sealing it anyway, the sportevo seals were purely for aerodynamics, sealing a gap that causes turbulence and creates drag.
