I didn't want to drill that many holes so I ended up drilling 5 holes where it counts and used 3M exterior tape for the rest of the lip.

See pic below:
Green - drilled
Blue - existing
Red - tape

I removed the bumper to make mounting the screw/nut easier but maybe it can be done without removing it. Just followed existing guides on this forum for 1 series with the exception of 1 extra screw on the 1M bumper which was a PITA to get to (had to remove fender liner). See arrow below

Here's the finished product, excuse the lame quality


The front is not a lot lower but because it sticks out more, it can scrap on gradient declines in car parks. Not sure how drivable it will be once its lowered.
Looks bloody good though, High Gloss black for me please Stu???
