WHAT IS THE BEST WAY 2 FIT BODYIT BUMPERS AND SIDE SKIRTS

Translates as:

What is the best way to fit a bodykit that consists of bumpers and side skirts?


Please don't use text talk on TMF (Forum Guidelines specifically metion this), it takes a couple more seconds to write out a question using proper english,.. you have a full keyboard infront of you, please use it.

Also,.. it might help if you were to add a little more information, what type of bodykit you're fitting etc... all helps people give you little tips and tricks.

Thanks.

Tigerseal/Sikaflex, combined with bolts/rivets. Don't attempt to blend it in with the bodywork, as it will crack. If you can get the fit spot on, it looks ok, or use a rubber seal, like on sportspack arches etc.
