I was having a look at the how-to guide on fitting the LE/Plus lips and I have a couple of queries.

What is the best adhesive for fitting the lips with,I imagine it`ll be Sikaflex but I was just wanting to be sure.

Also on the bottom of the lips there are flat areas that are in contact with the bumper ( pic ). Are these attached by clips to the bumper or are they just drilled through and bolted together?

sikaflex or (i rate) tiger seal!

having never fitted le lips before, i would hazard a guess they should be drilled and then use some self tapping screws.

Ah,Tiger seal cool I knew there was something else that had been mentioned before. I think i`ll just drill through the bumper and lips and just bolt them together at the bottom.

Cheers Ninja cool .

IIRC the LE lips are riveted underneath.

Mariusz recommended me Wurth panel adhesive, I've bought some but haven't tried it yet.

I couldn't find any UK distributors for that Helkel glue, which is why I didn't mention it wink The Wurth stuff is easy to get, just phone them up and you can buy direct.
