Yeah tiger seal is the strongest stuff. Or you can use black silicone. Only way you'll remove them with tiger seal is attempted cutting them but realistically they'll have to be snapped off.

No bottom bolts on the reps ;)

Once fitted put it on a ramp and do it from underneath/behind

as rio said there are no bottom bolts just ones in arches and along the top,i used a few wee cheeky self tappers to hold grills nicely in place as well as tiger seal,and you will have to push grill out if you ever need to tow car

Mate the best thing to do is drill tiny holes in the top corners and in the bumper on the underside, get some mini black cable ties and attach. No mess, durable and if you ever want to take them off just snip  :wink:
