Non M-Sport 3D Design Front Lip Install help

Hey guys. I have a 3D design front lip for a non m sport bumper which I bought from a forum member. I was hoping someone might be able to guide me on how to install this. I have a '16 528i Non-M. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

did mine a few years back but because i had a PU splitter to install with the 3d carbon spoiler i decided taking the front bumper off was ideal


here i have the bumper off


the 3d spoiler basically fits over the lower part of your front bumper like so


i couldn't find the pictures i posted from where i installed the double sided tape but you'll see that you'll place some 3m tape across the spoiler where it overlaps the OEM lip by the fog lamp cover and you'll lay several pieces across all the way back to the other fog lamp cover. also, i used self tappers across underneath the bottom for added security. it's not very hard to do

I know its not the exact same but this is what I did for my front lip. I used double sided tape and then used 4 self tapping screws to keep the bumper in place

Red: Screws
Blue: Tape

Huge thanks to both of you guys. I'll go ahead and try it out this weekend and see where I get. I'm assuming the bottom grill has to be taken off so that it can be installed properly or is it not necessary

The middle grill can stay on. The foglight grill and the fogs themselves are removed if you're removing the front bumper. You could actually do it without removing the bumper but i had to because of the splitter i was adding
