Recommended double sided tape to mount Karbonius splitters for standard E46 M3

[HanSooloo]

Got these splitters from Karbonius not too long ago: https://karbonius.net/producto/bmw-m3-e46-splitters/. They definitely add to the character of the car.

However, they started separating from the bumper, maybe because the double sided tape was not too strong. Is there a recommended double sided tape that can be used with the bumper that would be strong enough to keep the part from falling off?

I use 3M 6384 prepped with 3M 4298.

How did you prep the surface?

How did you prep the surface?

Just wiped it clean.

How did you prep the surface?

Clean with Dawn detergent to cut all grease and remove waxes/coatings. Gentle final cleaning with 70-90% alcohol is a good last step, but don't rub hard. Give it a minute or two and let it evaporate. Put the tape on one surface. Press it good. Heat it up with a blow-dryer, and press it again. Pull tape cover from exposed site, heat it up again and press the pieces together. The heat will really activate the glue on the tape and make the bond very strong.

Above.

Also used 3M VHB 5952 for surface cleaning (also used 70/30 isopropyl alcohol), and 3M 06396 for adhesion promoter.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will definitely look into the 3M products. Key is, as you all mentioned, making sure the surface is clean before applying the tape.
