Mine are chopped right back so they are bonded on using Tiger Bond just but some big blob's along in about 5 to 6 places that way you can get them off if you ever need to.

As above, but after 15 to 20 odd years the solvent has deformed the kit a bit so maybe keep the tiger bond nearer to the original fixings not on the outer face. If that makes sense

Mine is also chopped in a few places but still has some of the fixing points intact but mine still touches the plastic arch on very hard boost and has unstuck in a few places - not sure what mine has on.

Fitting kits are about £100 off ebay i think i noticed, not sure if FMC still does them, more the likely NLA like everything else

Cheers lads,

Ade,surely you'd want bonding along outside edge of arch to keep it flush with wing , screws under wing at opposite edge

Sikaflex lol - was a fucking pain in the arse to get that shit off when i stripped my moonstone 3dr - be cardeful as the bonding does deform the soft as shite plastic arches

Not me mate, fuck that it's so strong you would never get them off ( without damage ), my arches are trimmed and still a few screws to hold it on and bonded where the screws used to be that have been trimmed off.
