Is anything meant to be used to attach the plastic strip that goes between the "special" wheel arches - http://www.minispare...ic/CZH4316.aspx - ?? I got mine back from the bodyshop a couple of months ago and they're both pretty loose just pushed on - so much so I've actually taken one side off for fear of it coming off while I'm driving - and the other side isn't much better. Did they really just push on? Any advice on what I could use to secure them?

Tiger seal or silicon should hold them on

give the seam a good coating of bilthamber UC clear wax, and then put them on - probably as well to fit new ones which will be in better shape. The wax once set will help to hold them on. If it doesn't, a few blobs of PU sealer should help.
