Could you tell us which 3M tape you used specifically? Like if I were to walk into a retail store, which 3M package should I be looking out for?

Also, I know this is a lot to ask, but, how did you line the 3M tape underneath the spoiler to ensure a stable adhesion to the surface. Can you see a space between the car surface and the spoiler base due to the thickness of the 3M tape?

Thanks for your input :smile:

Any shots of the car from a little farther away? I feel like I cant really get a good grasp of how the grill and rear wing look.

i guess its a case of wanting what you cant have.. 135 and 125 here in SA comes with chrome grill (no option to have black).. similarly 120d comes with black and no option of chrome (the outer is chrome though)

i went with the msport package with chrome line exterior, so if anyone wants to sell me their chrome grills after replacing it, please pm me

You’re not alone. I had the shadowline grills on my car for a few days and switched back. It looked to me like the car had been in a front end wreck and the kidneys were never put back in. I have a set of 128 kidneys coming in and will go with those over the 135 kidneys.

did you use normal double sided tape from 3M or VHB tape for attaching the spoiler?
