Hi

I took the car to the garage to get the M air flector .

Is it correctly installed?

That is where it goes. Whether or not it has all the plastic rivets in place is hard to tell, but it looks right.

Looks about right, it is bolted in two places to the radiator hanger plus 5 plastic rivets.

If the rear is going upwards, It's probably correrct as the air gets thrown in the upwards direction.

I mounted mine to fit under the front chin. It seems to have a bit of pressure upward, but no issues. No gap that way.

Brilliant! Thanks a lot for feedback.
I will post some decent pictures. Beside refrigeration it will stop seing a ‘hole’ in the lateral shots.

there is also a rubber strip under the lower lip...... (after a few speedbumps it's gone, bought a new one and kept it in the box).

OP: Do not install that lower rubber strip, It looks ok but it grabs and grips everything it touches and tries to rip the complete spoiler off of the car when it does, use caution here.

Nonsense. Maybe if your car is lowered. If you install everything correctly and securely, it will be fine.

It's just a rub strip - it's there so the bumper doesn't take the damage. Lots of cars have them.

Hard to tell, but did you also get the CSi deflector to the lower radiator? It is different than the stock one. I have a lowered 850 and have no issues with the black rubber strip on the bottom.

I bought complete kits, I and others on Roadfly had issues with the spoiler grabbing things it came in contact with until removal, Most of are cars were lowered beyond 1.5 inch, After removal of the strip, The spoiler was more forgiving with things like parking blocks etc...

Mine's installed in the garage - it lasted all of three days before it decided it liked the speed-hump more than the car.....

Hi

thanks for advice. Finally I did not install it (the lip below). With time though and I guess with some of those bumps near schools... the right side seems not secure so I bought the additional pieces that go on each side of the csi low bumper.

Does anyone have the installation guide, I recall downloading but I have lost it... and as I would ask from a Service center to do, I would like to take the pieces with the instrucions.

Thanks

You do not need to go to the other side of the pond for this... Just ask the right guy at this side... :-P
