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.
