theres proper bolt/clip kits you can buy from supercheap/autobarn.
clip them to the bumper and bolt onto your lip

as dsp 26 said, bolt and clips are better than sikaflex.

If you use sikaflex, make sure you buy marine grade as it dries alot quicker, standard sikaflex takes 24hours to dry a 2mm gap. marine grade is the way to go. ive sickaflexd my front and rear lips on and they look sweet. if you can take the time to line everything up and hold it in place with clamps and stuff while it dries it will never cum off. strongest stuff on the planet jkss

problem is, when he's getting bored of it and want to sell it. he needs to sell the whole bumper LOL. or will it soften up under heat gun?

lol, silicone like i did, easier to take off last and has abit more move when you scrap speed humps, instead of breaking off.

fair enough if you want to pull it on and off. but if you have choosen alip that you like and you want it done write, (the usual idea is so it doesnt come off when you scrap stuff) sikaflex on and clean up with mineral turps. you will never have to worrie about it again :p. If you want to pull it on and off go for the clips, if not you have the awnser :wave:
