Default Quick front lip fitting Q

Got an OEM lip 2nd hand.

Do you just use self tappers, or do you bond also?

Thanks

I didn't use any bonding agent on mine. Just test fitted using the bolts to allow me to line up the metal plates for the side screws. Removed the lip, fitted the slide-on metal plates to the wings, refitted the lip with the bolts, and then finished off by tightening the screws.

Looked perfectly flush with no gaps ...

There should be two self tappers on each end (in the wheel arch), and there is something like ten bolts on the underside. You don't need to bond them together.

Gotcha.

Mine came with no bolts or screws.

Think I will just use screws on the arches then bond the rest of it...
