If your 318i currently has a lip spoiler (the standard black plastic thing) then it will just come off by unbending the little hooks at the bottom. You then press the iS lip back into these hooks.

If you break any of these clips, they're cheap enough to buy a pack of 10 new from BMW.

buy a load of new black clips from bmw, you pop them all along the front (in what i presume the holes would be there still ?) then just push the spoiler in to them , its very easy to do
