jasonlu · 04-01-2012, 01:59 AM

Just a quick question:
i recently got a Roof spolier and CF emblems without ant 3M tape on it.
so i went to Ebay and search for 3M tape but there are so many different kinds out there.

which one should i get to put on the emblems and spolier?
should i use different one between them? thanks

Autozone or any other automotive store will have the grey/red tape also.

I have that same automotive 3M tape. One thing I would say though, looking back, is that it's awfully thick. Others on here recommended betalink liquid adhesive and in retrospect I wish I had used it instead.

That's the exact same issues I run into with 3m tape, the thickness can be problematic. Someone has to make a 3m double sided type tape that's thinner.

What kind of tape does the vender use? They use beta link liquid adhesive too?
Also, where I can get those tape? eBay?

The OEM aero lip comes with instructions from BMW that say to use beta link adhesive. Therefore, I'm assuming that's what they use too.

I got my 3M tape at autozone.
