Anyone used BETAlink before or know anything about this and similar adhesives?

So about to install my M performance spoiler using BETAlink in the next couple of days...

Its a little on the chilly side in London at the moment with temperatures no more than 10 degrees C...

I know BMW states that the adhesive should not be applied under 18 degrees but looking at the manufactures details of the BETAlink and other similar adhesives, they state it can be applied anywhere between 5 - 40 degrees..

Either way, Ill heat up the bootlid to start with and then apply in the morning, tape up and then prob remove the tape 5 hours later, but wont be driving the car for a few days later anyways

For those of you that are in the know...Do you think this will be ok or do I need to wait until its a little warmer outside??

Thanks
