There appears to be foam tape on the outer edge to stop the skirt rubbing i guess looks factory fit ? do you know what is used to bond the screw in is it just resin ?

I dont know, I gave my bodykit and a complete set of screws to a bodyshop.

Only when I was breaking it earlier this year did I find they'd just drilled holes in the sill and used the self tappers!

I guess any kind of fabric tape will do. Gaffer tape is probably a sound bet.

not quite sure what parts you are refering to, If you have a look at Tony Turbos thread in the resto section, prob after page 10 or so, you will see a full photo breakdown on how the kit is fixed... if you say what parts you are refering to I can help mate

Sorry havent got back to you sooner mate, My computer turns on when it feels like it

Yeah its a 10-12mm wide, 3-5mm thick double sided sticky foam...

That is a 3M product, I got it from Brownbrothers... they have a web site somewhere for your local branch, you need to use something quite strong mate, as that is what holds the kit to the arches
