There's no template for the rear spoiler. You need to use a tape measure.

to help you drill the holes, stick masking tape over where you are going to drill, the drill will stick better

Thanks guys!

Ian, have you managed to drill the required holes using your measurements? if your method is tried and tested its an invaluable bit of info!

My car came with one fitted as standard, so it's not something I've had to try. Those measurements are from an official BMW installation procedure though.

Cheers,

Ian.
