I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but your splitters were attached with betalink, which is permanent adhesive. Be sure to remove the screws on the remaining bottom part to remove.

Allinon72 I thought that with the splitters installment you only have to put some 3m tape and a few screw underneath?
There’s no need to go all out with this permanent adhesive

BMW recommended betalink on everything for some reason where tape is just fine.

You could try cut most of it off with a blade, then try the rest with a rubber adhesive remover wheel. Unfortunately that stuff isn't designed to come off so may cause permanent paintwork damage which will need a respray. Might be easier to take it to a panel shop to sort out.

The whole side of your bumper has scuff marks. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by removing them yourself considering the damage that has already been done.

Looks like your best best is going to a panel shop, get them to deal with it and respray your whole front bumper.
