is it ment to be stuck on with silocne? as mine was held on with tape, was as in its just flew off

It should actually be held on by clips but these are no longer available from BMW so silicone might be your only choice.

Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure the clips are the same as the ones for the M-tech spoiler, 6 of which I collected from Trainers in the week!

Tut! I would imagine they are the same though, the design of the window is still the same after all, I still haven't stuck my spoiler back on yet!!

It's amazing how much the spoiler affects the turbulence behind the car, the spray from the rear wash doesn't touch the window anymore at speeds above 15 mph! :lol:

I think it's more a case of 'other duties'

Hey, I've got a breaker coming my way, and it's got grey door cards with 4x electric windows....

Not at the moment, they're shown as delisted by BMW. Simon has made enquires as to having replica's made but it would prove to be too expensive for the relatively small quantities.

My apologies, I was referring to the highly desirable yet highly unobtainable M-tech spoiler......

If anyone knows how much a new standard rear spoiler is then please let me know, mine is very 'pitted' and if I can't get an M-Tech replica then I'll just get a new standard one to clean things up.
