I didn't fit my splitter ( I'm useless ) but I believe it was 14 bolts and it's solid as a rock! I couldn't watch my 3 day old bumper being drilled but was all good in the end.
What did they use for the spoiler cap to fit? I just want to fit the blades and splitter myself but dont want tonwait 24hours for me not being able to drive my car?
You dont happen to no what adhesive they used? Also do u no if i have to adhesive the side blades as well as screw them or is screwing them enough? They are the maxton blades that come with screws or bolts? I no you should glue the splitter sometimes?
Not sure about the sill extensions as mine are M Performance ones ( little slimmer ) and they were fitted by BMW before I collected. Pretty certain the splitter wasn't glued , just bolted and it's absolutely fine, no dramas. The reason I say that is that I work in a main dealer ( non BMW ) and a couple of techs were holding it in place while it was bolted so don't think glue was used.
Ahh right i see, ive managed to fit the side blades myself was abit of a pain when your on your own, not got the courage just yet to fit the splitter, as dont want to mess it up!
The splitter is bolted, found it much easier to take off the bumper, flip it over, mock up placement with tape, then drill some holes where you feel fits well. I didn't use all the hardwear that it came with, I think I used 9/10 out of the 14 or 15 supplied, its solid, smashed it on a few speed bumps and gone over 150mph (on track of course) and it's sturdy as anything!
Ongreat ill go down that route then
Thanks for your advice
