Okay!! It arrived yesterday. It took about 10 days to get to Los Angeles from Taiwan. The paint job looks good and it matches well. I just installed it today. Can't wait to take the tape off and take pics.

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?

I dont think the boot / trunk lid changed between pre and post LCI, looking at the pics it looks like the tape didnt adhere enough on the corners. Try using 3M tape and the solution to help it adhere properly.
Tape the sucker down and let it dry a good couple of hours before lifting the tape off.
Hope you get it sorted

Alrighty!! Here's the finished product. I like the way it came out and it makes me feel good that it was all under $100.

Managed to sort it out.
The reason why the trunk spoiler didnt fit was because i stuck it on the wrong please D'oh
so embarrassing 
The trunk spoiler actually attaches on the corner end of the boot at an angle & not on top :roll:
Fitment is actually 100% & had great service from the seller oemthing on eBay.
Overall cant complain 2 spoilers, delivered & painted in for £120 [
