How do you attach Fibreglass or Carbon fibre A Panels And Rear Valences to your mini?

Do you bolt it on or something?


Cheers

[adam_93rio]

they can be bolted on or bonded into place

[Sam14]

Thank you

[mini93]

rear valance would be bolted into place as said, im not sure how the a-pannels would be attached as they are usualy hammerd around and spot welded, im guessing would be bonded on such as sikaflex how ever its spelt that stuff doesnt come off very easy and sure to stick on the a pannels easy

[Sam14]

I will probably bolt on the rear valance then

I will wait and see about the A panels due to me invested in flip front

[mini93]

no reason you cant retain the steel a-pannels, i have and its actualy what i use to bolt the front end back upto the car, some fronts come with built in a-pannels though and you can then bolt to the hinge pannel, im sure you already know this anyway so ill shurrup

So the valence would be bolted where?

Onto the closing panel i guess?

[mini93]

onto the same place the rear bumper bolts to, the valance still has a flange (hehe) on it and then up against the boot floor and back pannel flange (hehe) it goes

[Sam14]

Panel Flange

Hehehehe
