Ah right sounds like the way Bean had fitted his.

Mine are gonna be filled into the body and rear bumper aswell....when i get round to doing it.

Only other thing i was gonna ask was have you screwed the sides of the bumper to the car rather than using the usual fixings?

Expanding foam to set the arches and skirts in place? I'd have used a decent bonding sealant like Sikaflex tbh

no dont worry that ent whats used to fix them on, we put a screw in both end to hold in place for the time being. then filled the arch with expanding foam just to give the arch more strenth as ther hollow.whilst that was dryin we used stikaflex to bond them on. nice and sturdy.probably have a run of fibreglass around them aswell, dont want nothing to move
