I`ve just bought one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170971193160? ... 1439.l2649

and wondered if there any pit falls in fitting them and what type of screw do I use?

Many thanks Mart.

They're pretty straight forward to fit, hook the ends round the corner of the bumper and it'll sit pretty much where its supposed to around the front of the bumper.

Bung a couple of bits of masking tape on to hold it level, then drill small pilot holes in the bumper through the holes in the spoiler, then use suitably size self tapping screws, stainless steel preferably.

I did the above on my m3 3 years ago ( saloons didnt come with one ) and its been fine.

Amazes me people try and sell their scruffy ones for £30 when you can still buy new genuine ones for under £50 :D
cheers,

harry
