My new arches have arrived (group2 wide) and where the holes go are different to where they are when i had special arches on. TO save drilling another set of holes would it be suitable to use a strong bonding glue. what are the pros and cons. Help would be appreciated.

If you are going to bond them on use some Sticker Flex (panel bonding stuff for car body repairs) i bonded my mates bodykit on his fiesta with it and it's still on there (2 years later)

I would personly screw them on though.

sikaflex you mean? i like being annoying
if you decide to change your arches and they are stuck on with sikaflex it would possibly pull off your paint, so just drill them it will save time and money in the long run.

ok thanks, what should i do with the old holes as i don't want the bodywork to rust round about them, particularly around the back arches.
