scooby_doo_do Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Ok ok,,, I know i've been through this one before.... But.. What on earth do you guys use to stick it to the bumper? I'm about to do it this weekend so need to go out and buy some sort of glue ? I've got all the details on how to take off the front bumper, but i was also going to grill up the sideskirts if i can, so any ideas how i'd get to them ? Many thanks. Craig.

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I used small black cable ties through the mesh and the plastic under trim using the original push clip holes to thread the ties through. No need for glue or drilling extra holes. Looks good, no visible fixings and easy to do. Ill post a pic if you want to see my fixings.

scooby_doo_do Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Cool, My plan was to take off the bumper and then fold the mesh around it and then stick it in place somehow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I used a hot glue gun, but I aso used some silicone mastic. The silicone isn't brittle and should last longer. Inside the bumper aperture I removed the bottom plastic strip and trimmed the edge to match the top profile. I got the stainless mesh cut about 5mm larger than the aperture. The mesh was cut using a guillotine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 on my Abflug bumper, the mesh is held on with fibreglass and resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hot melt glue is the way ahead as it is active a whole hell of a lot faster than any other glue type. You don't even have to buy a glue gun a decent lighter will melt the glue and you can just rub it on where required. The back spats are held on with push clips in the arch and a couple on spigots. I attached my grill with a 90 L section aluminium strip top and bottom so I could easily remove it when required. The side indicator holes and rear spat things were glued in with hot melt glue.
