I've searched through some threads and some of the pics are looking a bit different. How should the placement of the M5 spoiler look? Here are few "different" placements that I found;

this one appears to be further down on the trunk



I hope to be doing this install soon, but want to be sure it's correct.

There are a ton of more pics out there but this shows the difference quite well.
Thanks in advance.

Guess I could alwayd drive down to the dealership and find a model.

I fitted mine this week.
At the start it was not obvious where exactly it sits but as you push it further forward onto the bootlid it comes to a stop naturally so I took this to be the
correct location.

I've never seen a spoiler with a template.

+1. It should be as far as the edge but still sits flush on the trunk.

1st pic is correct. Shouldn't be right to the edge.
