Right this is really buggin me!
Recently changed all my arches and obviously its rare to find gsi arches with every single clip intact! Now luckily mine have most of them but one has lost 2 next to one antoher at the very end so my front arch is hanging off! Do you guys all just tigerseal your arches on?
Thanks for any advice

Are you on about the threads that you bolt onto?
Tigerseal will do the job, if its at the very end though your bumper probably won't sit tight either though as the last one holds the bumper in place too, i'd want new ones if thats the case.
Mine has them all btw

The front one with the bumper I put the bolt bit through the bumper/wing, nut on it and then put the arch on.
I'd be tempted to just get a good quality replacement and cut it down
