Adhesive for carbon fiber

Hi guys

I'm getting front splitter for my CLS63 and I want to use some adhesive to stick them to the front bumper but I want to use safe adhesive for the paint because I'm putting it temporary till Renntech or Vorsteiner release their carbon fiber parts

Do you guys have an idea what to use?

Thanks

3m

you will be surprised how strong 3m tape and it wont fail over time. You will actually have a hard time removing it when your done.

Who makes the CF splitter, looking for something similar for my E

3M double tape used to hold trim on all sorts of cars. Make sure you don't uses the white stuff from home depot. Use the outdoor 3M tape that is grey in color and also sold there. Play with some small pieces before installing as it's super strong stuff once it sets a day or two. Being your pieces are cupped, it may be difficult to get the leverage to pry off if you use a lot of it. Goo Gone (test first and don't let sit for more than a few minutes) and or low heat from a heat gun will help when removing.
