To be fitted:

And finnaly, fitted, with loads of tape

It needs to be bonded on as well otherwise it flaps about in the wind.

Wow, cheers mate, wouldnt of thought mine would ever be thought of as feature worthy.

But yeah, planning a few other wee bits, only the rest of the GSI kit really, and the rest of the sport interior, then its pretty much finished.

Thanks for the comments everyone, and thats to corsaconcepts for the spoiler

The bottom two screws on mine seem to have broken off, so it needed bonded on.

Still need to get a couple of nuts for the two top, anyone know the size? Looks like 8mm, not too sure.

Tigerseal is dry, so took off the tape and took a couple of more pics:

Hopefully getting my new crossmember welded in this week, then I can finally put the front bumper back on, its been off for months

They are screwed and bonded from the factory. They usually use some tack-tape on it though. It's just because it's such a flexable material.

Its fucking strong stuff too, had to remove a gsi spoiler off my brothers boot, thought I was going to snap the spoiler getting it off.

Gone one better, checked the lens of the camera, covered in dust!

Quick wipe with a cotton bud and some isopopyl, what a difference

As you can see, its changed just a bit from when I got it
