I put activator directly on the trunk lid. I let it dry for a minute or two before starting to position the spoiler. I measured both sides to ensure it was centered on lid as well as equal distance from front of the trunk lid. Best advice is to only start pulling the plastic from the tape by a few inches. I did this on both corners and there was enough sticky tape to position and adjust. Then when I was happy I pressed the corners down hard and pulled the rest of the backing off while the spoiler was in position. I then taped it all down as tight as I could and left it overnight.

I forgot to add: before I started I washed the trunk lid with dish soap to strip any wax or polish, then I clayed it and washed it with dish soap again. I wanted to be sure I had a good clean surface to attach to.

Looks really good glad to see you finally got the chance to fit.

You really can't tell its not an original, the colour and the quality of both the spoiler and paintwork are spot on (on mine too )

Thanks so much for the useful info CPO. Really appreciate it. This makes me feel more confident to install it. I had to put back my stock rims as Miro 111 rims had so much vibration on my car so whoever read this post - don't try Miro 111 18" on a 530i - they can't get rid of the vibration.

Thanks again the weather in CA starts to get warmer and it is a good time to install these

cheers

Also I have a slightly different spoiler. My is ABS style but will up load pics soon. Thanks for all whom had replied to my questions.

Impressed with the colour and fit, I think it sets off the rear nicely.

Word of warning for UK buyers using the CPO's Link, FedEx charged me import duty on this, the bill came through 10 days later apparently its due to admin delays, still a bargain price for a painted spoiler..

Just ordered the M-Style Replica Rear Spoiler in Alpine White. I hope I have the luck of the fitment Gods on my side.

I will post pics once I have it installed.

Bougt "BMW E60 REAR A TYPE ROOF & M5 TYPE TRUNK SPOILER" from eBay delivered & painted in Carbon black for £120
Received it the other day paint job looks great & good match, Roof spoiler stuck on & perfect fit.

Got to the Trunk spoiler & it was such a bad fit that not all of the spoiler made contact with the trunk, so i just pulled it off.

1. Just wondering is this because mine is the LCI model, did the trunk design/shape change?
2. Has anybody else had problems with fitment?

Try moving the spoiler down. It is supposed to fit slightly above the BMW trunk emblem (about an inch or so). The spoiler is supposed to cover the hump on the trunk. Hopefully that will resolve, but if its bad fitment. It's bad fitment. Good luck mate.
