How to Install a Carbon Fiber Spoiler on Your BMW

Upgrading your BMW with a carbon fiber spoiler not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also boosts aerodynamics. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to install a carbon fiber spoiler on your BMW with ease.

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Microfiber cloth
  • Isopropyl alcohol
  • Painter’s tape
  • Adhesive promoter
  • Measuring tape
  • 3M automotive tape or spoiler adhesive
  • Heat gun (optional)

Step 1: Clean the Surface

Thoroughly clean the area on your BMW trunk where you plan to install the spoiler using isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth. This ensures proper adhesion.

Step 2: Measure and Mark the Placement

Use measuring tape and painter’s tape to mark the exact position where the spoiler will be installed. Double-check alignment to ensure it’s centered and even.

Step 3: Apply Adhesive Promoter

Apply the adhesive promoter to the area on your trunk and the spoiler’s contact surface. This enhances the bond.

Step 4: Attach the Spoiler

Carefully remove the backing from the adhesive tape on the spoiler. Align the spoiler with your tape markers and press firmly. Use a heat gun to slightly warm the adhesive for a stronger bond.

Step 5: Secure and Let It Set

Apply pressure for at least 2-3 minutes. Use painter’s tape to secure the spoiler in place for the next 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Installation:

  • Perform the installation in a warm, dry environment.
  • Avoid driving or washing your car for at least 24 hours.
  • Use a heat gun for better adhesion if the weather is cold.
