Just bought a new spoiler and it came with double sided foam tape do you think this will hold even at speed ?

I think so. It is not uncommon to fasten them that way.

How big is the contact area? What style spoiler is it? Photo?

Poor quality but you can see the size in comparison to the contact area and the current 3m tape I have put on I went with the logic of put as much ducking tape on as you can fit

How did you attach yours ? And would you advise the sitter you have over a custom made carbon one or is it a good fit ?

If the spoiler is quite light then the contact area should be ample as it isn't doing any real aero work.

Yeah it's carbon so it's pretty light I wasn't looking for any aerodynamic work but I just though wing hitting it could rip it off .... I guess there is only one way to find out

You will be sick of peeling the backing off that little lot.

Broader tape trimmed to fit the mount would have been better or wider strips all laid the same way, again trimmed to mounting point.

Ahah yeah I will Do , wider tape would have been a good idea but I was supplied with the thin stuff

Hey,

I fitted mine with chemical adhesive supplied with the spoiler.

which ebay seller did you purchase from?

my spoiler only weighs 1kg so the tape probably would of done the trick but it gets windy above 120 if you use the tape you will have to ensure you compress it hard when applying the bumper otherwise it may leave a "gap" around the contact area.

I cant explain how much I love my splitter, it looks truly awesome, really fits the contours of the M Sport bumper perfectly.

The Original Tape is strong enough. With the tape it is also possible to remove the spoiler with a fan heater
