Tiger seal if you don't want to screw or rivet them on.

I used no more nails anti vibration. It doesn't go hard so if you still need to flare them once they're you can, as I had to.
I think first time mine came off but I didnt leave it long enough to go off. If it says 24 hours then in this cold weather you want to leave it for 48 hours. Glue them on then use plenty of masking tape to hold them down tightly.

But everyone I know uses tiger seal so what ever is cheapest.

I used double sided sticky pads but that's only a temporary solution until I get a new front wing.

If you have a Toolstation near you, get a tube of their PU-40 adhesive, it's a polyurethane based sealant, exactly the same as Tiger Seal etc, but only about £2.50.
