bead of bonding glue along the top and a screw or two in each end mate  :smiley:

Also not sure on the legality of just having the bumper side markers as repeaters as I think they should be where they are now which is why new cars have them in the door mirrors...

i gave my valance a little tug and it seems it has a grove in the bumper which if i take off will be exposed and would look hideous... is this normal in which means i would have to apply body filler then paint? thankss :)

What about rear valance  :lipsrsealed:

Im thinking you will get away with them as indicators, sure the rule is you have to see them flash from a meter directly sideways to the car, from the rear wheel.

See my pretty nifty diagram for instructions  :grin:

X marks yourself :laugh:
