What you are really trying to do is get a nice bead of silicon between the spoiler and trunk. You can’t put too much in between the spoiler and trunk where you will never see. In fact it is a good idea to get a healthy amount in there as it will bond the spoiler to the trunk better. The product was designed to do just what we are doing. It leaves a strong custom shaped flexible rubber gasket between the two items. It will hold up to stress and any flexing or vibration being pushed down on the spoiler. I cut the tip to the smallest hole. I then pull up /flex the rear of the spoiler and this gives a tiny bit of more room to squirt the silicon into. Then run as much of the silicon in a long bead around the sides and back of the spoiler filling the voids. The bigger the void, the more you want to squirt in there. Then you let the spoiler go and it will squeeze out the excess. Don’t worry about getting all over the paint and CF spoiler as it easily wipes up with a damp rag. I used a lot of damp rags as you are constantly finding a clean spot to wipe across the crack to wipe away and push in the silicon. You will do this until you leave a clean black line of silicon in the space. This not only gives it a cleaner look of no voids but also will hold down the entire area after it dries in 24 hours. You have about 1 hour working time with the silicon so don’t feel rushed. Think of it as a art protect. I didn’t feel clamping it down was what I was after as I just wanted the silicon to fill in the void and adhere the spoiler better. I did the whole entire sides and back of the spoiler. Do it right and the CF spoiler looks like it melts into the trunk without any gaps around the sides or back. The front of the MP spoilers tend to sit tight and perfectly flat against the trunk so no need to fill in any visible voids. I only used 1/2 of the smaller 3oz tubes. I can’t take credit for this idea as another member reported doing this with his. I recommend doing this project 60 degrees or warmer. I also soaked my tube in warm water for 10 minutes before starting to keep the silicon thinner so it flows out that tiny hole like toothpaste. I purchased mine for under $3 from amazon.

It's not here yet. It has been delayed due to all the covid restrictions for incoming goods in customs. It should be arriving by end of June. It is a real BMW part. |

Sorry guys.
I order at ebay to a german cf spoiler maker a replica of the CS version. In the description it says f22, f23 f87 m2. When I just put it just to see how it looks. I saw that fitment wasn´t 100% perfect, some gap in the rear of the spoiler. I went to my wife 2015 2 series cabrio and it fit perfect. No gaps. Perfect. Is the trunk lid of the M2 competition different from the OG / F22? Thank you. Flavio |

It's ok, haven't driven the car much during covid and with the actual CS cars now arriving in the US, the parts can't be far behind now. |

Bought M Performance spoiler, are you guys installing with the 3m tape that came with the spoiler or using betalink adhesive?

Anyone seen this one on an M2C?
https://ind-distribution.com/collect...-trunk-spoiler Seems suspiciously cheap.

BMW M2CS carbon trunk spoilers are now in stock at IND, so there should be no wait time for anyone.
However I do see that post is from November so its probably installed by now.

Is the M2CS spoiler the one that BMW says you must pair with the M2CS front lip? In other words "put on both of them or neither of them".

Quality is great and it's still in perfect shape! Don't hesitate on buying if this is what you want. Full disclosure though, I would buy the official BMW CS Spoiler now that it's been released since I bought this prior to the CS being available.

If I hadn't PPF'd my car right after purchase, I'd probably have been tempted to follow suit. That Red looks phenomenal every time I see it. |
