Title: Sikaflex
Post by: GTI:Gibbo on 05 January 2012, 20:53

I'm hoping to get my side skirts fitted at the weekend if I get them back from being painted. What I need to know is the best way to fit?

I know I will be drilling and bolting each end but do I use Sikaflex to bond onto my car? Or is there anything better?

Also apart from the Internet can I buy it from any retailers as I can't wait for it to be posted out to me?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Don't bother with either, get your ass on eBay and get the windscreen sealing stuff for a tenner.  Thom put me on to it, as he own his own bodyshop and the stuff is amazing. 

My rear arches became detached to and from MIVW last year and that was using Sikaflex, now they'll need to come off with and angle grinder!!
