I finally installed the M5 Trunklid finisher last week 
I have attached a before and after comparison below, followed by a number of pics from different angles.
A few people were wondering if it would really be that noticeable on a black car...
Well now that I have it, I certainly think it makes a big difference from almost any angle. I just prefer the cleaner look that it gives the rear
Let me know what you think.

You get doublesided tape with the part, so you use the tape and the existing bolts (that are used to secure the rear license plate holder) to mount the piece.
You can order the part primed or painted.
I ordered the primed part & had it painted when it arrived.
Very easy to install yourself in less than 30minutes.
! you may want to debadge it if you want a even more cleaner look

No problems at all. It took about 8 days from order to delivery.
The Crazy thing is the primed part cost R2150 vs the painted part at R5125 - complete rip-off for the painted part
So I ordered the primed part & got it painted here for R450.
(For non South African's: US$ 1.00 = R6.90)

Looks great. I'll have to look into this option as well if available in my area. What other aero paks are on your car? Do you have the M Sport Pak?
Overall, looks like an M5 (well, almost).
