Assitance required

I bought an M Performance CF rear spolier some months ago & finally got round to having a go at installing it on Sunday.
I've been trying to attach it using 3M double-sided tape but can't for the life of me get it to sit right. After 60 minutes i gave up.
I'm going to have one last try with the tape but wondering if anybody has any tips? If not I'll get it done by a panel shop & get it 'glued' on. With the way it lines up & the surafces that will need to be stuck onto the boot I can see the advantage of using glue...
I've read as many DIY threads as I can find but the reality is somehwat different when it came to installing - either that or I'm just too impatient & all fingers n thumbs...
Clues, assistance or recommendations for a panel shop appreciated.
I emailed H&M but no reply - I must have upset them...

Thanks in advance!!

E92 definitely needs sikaflex as the 'steep angle' of it doesn't allow for a proper contact patch with the 3M tape.
Good luck with it
