WINKJ Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just pondering on the fitting... did you consider simply putting a few self tappers through the splitter into the bottom of the bumper bar - or don't they actually touch when fitted? David Hi David, RT performance said to just put self taping screws in the ends by the wheel arch and bond under the centre but I don't like seeing the screws on the ends in the wheel arch. There is nowhere it will meet apart from on the far corners and that won't be enough to support it in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the screws in the wheel arch but was trying to avoid bonding it at bumper bar in case I want to remove again in future for a paint refresh. Agree that screws at far corners won't support - which is why I was thinking of a few self tappers from underneath at the centre up to the bumper bar but if these two surfaces don't meet (which I think is what you are telling me) that won't work. Hmmmm think think think... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinyflier Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Understood. Is either PU adhesive or your method! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
