Or just have the dealership do it so if any problems arise later you will have a warranty.

try Morristown Mini

For not a bunch extra you can get the gun, glue and touch up paint when you buy the wing from them. They also have a huge discount on the wing last I looked.

If you can wait about a week to 10-days, i will have the gun for sale once my JCW is installed since i wont be needing it anymore. I doubt the glue tube would have much in it and not worth reselling it.

I havn't figured out the glue thing yet. But I did remove the s spoiler last nite. Do not pry too much even with a protection, underneath, you will dent the surrounding metal Use a heat gun to soffen the adhesive . I used a steel fishing leader with two vise grips to cut the foam tape glued down. It did not scratch the paint!Don't scrape the trim around the windows and remember there is a stud so you have to go from both directions. You can heat the wire up too. Don't burn the plastic or paint ,just keep feeling the heat so you don't get it too hot. You can shoot the heat underneath through the nut access holes to warm up the steel hatch. A big PITA. I had a paintless dent repair guy fix my goofups
