Installing the Carbon Fibre Rear Spoiler Accessory Kit

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Accessory kit

First, remove the original spoiler that is glued to the bonnet: it is recommended to use a strong cotton thread (to cut the double-sided tape) and a microfiber cloth that has the right thickness to facilitate detachment. At this point, remove any adhesive residue from the bonnet by rubbing with your fingers and possibly using a suitable spray; it is finally suggested to polish the bonnet with some polish. Now you can proceed to attach the new carbon spoiler using double-sided tape: apply the tape across the entire surface of the spoiler that rests on the bonnet and remove the protective strip. Before fixing the spoiler to the bonnet, spray soapy water to allow for correct positioning and adhere the spoiler: once the water has dried, the adhesive will bond perfectly.

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
