i use sikaflex, its good stuff (unlike the "no more nails" i used to stick a bodykit on a rover .. well come on it was a bloody rover, and he was a chav ! )

if you're struggling to find anything just pop down to your local bodyworker and ask if you can buy a couple of tubes of bonding agent off them, they usually have dozens of them lying around.

I used windscreen seal on mine. make sure you cut up the underside fo the arch so the seal gets in and holds on. mine was haven't come off since I roughed it up before sticking them on.

£5 from a windscreen place.

Yup Sikaflex rocks it's sticky as fook and flexible there is no other way to stick kits and arches on imho can be removed easily if needed too with the sikaflex solventy remover stuff! Halfrauds might not have it in but a decent motor spares shop or autopaint international should have it in.

if u need tiger seal and dont mind shelling out a stupid £10 for delivery u can get it from bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk. i was lucky my mate bought some from here but didnt end up using his second tube so i took it off his hands.
