Help Mounting 4.6 front spoiler on Facelifted X5
 
As the title states just want to get any ones opinion or possible thought on any help mounting a 4.6is spoiler on a facelifted X5. I mounted the rear and I bought the 3M Window adhesive to mount the front how some other members stated on here. I will be installing it and letting it dry in my father's shop on Saturday.

Any other adhesive or product powerful enough to permanently hold this spoiler? Do you guys think I need a chalking gun for this? I know some members held in place with tape, I might put a jack in front over night to let it sit. Below you can find the link to the adhesive I am using.

Buy 3M Window-Weld™ Super Fast Urethane - Black (10.5 fl. oz.) 08609 at Advance Auto Parts

Why are you doing this? Why not buying a facelift front bumper to install? It sounds mission impossible.

He has the facelift bumper :D
He should have bought the 4.8is areo kit instead. May be he got the 4.6is pieces cheap.

Does the 4.6is front spoiler match the facelift bumper contour?

Can you post pics of the spoiler positioned to your bumper? Really curious as to how it will look.

Instead of buying the 4.8is bumper I decided to opt out for the 4.6is front spoiler. I like how it looks better and its different than the norm. It does fit all you have to do is trim the tabs like you would do on a pre-facelifted X5. There are many post on here with pics and clear explanations.

I just wanted any other suggestions that possibly could of help of the members who actually did this mod.
