    Ok, I`m about to remount my spoiler on my `95 m3. The last guy who had the car obviously didn`t realize that two of the bolts holding it in had come out. It left huge marks, which are now fixed, so I want to reinstall it. Should I just use bolts, or should I put some thin 3m adhesive foam or something between the spoiler and the car body to avoid damage?

    subterfuge- Just noticed your post. *I* would NOT put anything between the spoiler and the car`s body. Even a thin foam would a) possibly affect how the spoiler mounts b) possibly allow a buildup of dirt (hence moisture). At most, I`d put some clear film on the spoiler`s mounting area to prevent friction.

    Some dealers and aftermarket parts manufacturers can provide a seperate spoiler installation kit that would include "gaskets" to go in between areas of contact, it might be worth checking out if you haven`t done the job yet.
