Tech 2 ducts are longer than a car with just a standard front valance.

And that ad states

BMW E30 pair of standard front brake cooling ducts to suit non M Tech kitted cars in good condition.

Just sit in between the bits they attach to at each end. A couple of discreet holes and cable ties on each end don't go amiss, though.

cable ties was the answer. the original clamps/clips made for them are rubbish. and i ordered them from bmw, waste of money
