Evening everyone
Does anyone know or have any suggestions on how to attach an alpina front spoiler?
It’s a facelift version like the pics below
Do I leave the metal valance on below it? My thoughts are at the moment that I may have to make some mounting points in the metal valance to then screw the alpina spoiler into....
Want to make sure this is correct though
Cheers

I have never had any experience with the facelift TYP 159 or 162 version but mine had the PFL TYP 137 version from new and being how much they like kerbs I have had it on and off a few times.

Mine was simply screwed over what is there and that is the way they all fit AFAIK. it is just a fibreglass shell that fits over what is there

If you are buying it new it will come with (bad photocopied) fitting instructions anyway

EDIT: looking at pictures of them they seem to have 4 captive bolts laid into the fibreglass that you you fit the nuts on from behind.
