close up splitter pics request

Hi Just wondering if anyone can post a few close up pics of the carbon performance splitters fitting in the m sport bumper around the fog light housing please.

Got mine today from states and just want to compare how well it fits.

Thanks but need a little closer in try to see what the gap is like where it covers the existing bumper with the edge to the fog light insert.

Actually don't worry I can see from that picture now. The red strip between the fog light housing and the carbon. I have a blue strip, funny the official BMW installation instructions say that that think strip should be coloured in black prior to fitting... not sure what with though. It mentions a black paint pen.

I know what you mean, I've seen various ways of it been done, unless it's done absolutely perfectly with like a black piece of vinyl it looks better without. Slightly different splitter but obviously there's no white gap between the fog light trim and plastic splitter

Been reading all about this betalink adhesive that BMW use. Don't fancy that much so going to go for 3M tape but cannot work out which one I need. Think it's 3M PT1100 Acrylic Plus.

Going to use it on splitter and spoiler.
