Just about to install my genuine ///M carbon lip, tomorrow if the weather's good.

The BMW item does come with 3M tape already on the lip, and I've seen the IND install video re only partially removing the backing of the 3M tape, to align correctly.

When I ordered this from the dealer, they also supplied a Dow adhesive kit, "Betalink K1". The official install instructions say to apply this glue to the 2x pads, one at each end. You can see one of them in the OP's first photo, about 6" from the end.

Question - what do most folk do, ignore using the adhesive (likely a silicon type glue?) and just rely on the 3M tape? Or have some people actually used both to ensure a really good bond?
