(S) replacing abarth rear apron

what can i use to stick the new apron to the bumper or will just the two screws each side be fine?

Tigerseal?

Or Sikkaflex, or the white PU that Machine Mart do. Screws alone won't hold it for ever.

nice one cheers. probably get either some sikkaflex or tigerseal cos' ive heard of them before

Neither will just adhesive, i think, well it didnt hold one of my skirts one. i got a funny rattling,then i got my arse into gear screwing them on aswell

If you're relying just on the glue, you really have to scratch up and clean both the surfaces (acetone or spirit wipe). It's certainly safer to pop the odd screw or rivet in there. (Stainless by choice.)

maybe ill get ye old pot rivet gun out then and use some adhesive aswell
what you think maybe 2eachside?

2 or 3 will do it. Don't forget the washers each side to spread the load!

lol i wont forget just awaiting the apron now, ordered some arches too tigerseal and rivet again yea?

I've never fitted arches, but it makes sense to do it the same way. One trick, if you're painting stuff after you've bonded it on, is to give the edge whre the tiger seal is a wipe with spirit wipe (not white spirit) on a clean cloth: it smooths the edges really nicely. Then you can paint over the tiger seal and it won't show at all.

thats cool and sounds like a plan..i might in a sence mold the apron to the bumper to give the smoother look, gonna have to find someone to ask where abouts to rivet the arches onto as ive never fitted them before either

iirc the lester ones dont need to be rivetted just bonded

Where do you rivet them and not expose the heads?? i dont like the thought of seeing kits riveted on

thats why i wanted some advice with the arches aswell cos' tbh i havent got a clue either

i have a set of arches, and there no rivit holes, just lots of glue and cracked screw holes
