Default carbon exhaust surround question

got one for my car at ford fair and just getting round to fit it just wanted to know if any one had fitted one and what did they use to stick it on as mine fits well but it will need holding in place while the glue goes off because where the slot in the rear bumper runs mine doesnt fit very well there unless you push it and hold it

Dont know if i like it or not, but as my bumper has been melted by the exhaust it needs something to cover it and as this will match the front splitter i hope it will grow on me, because once glued on it will make a mess to remove it

any ideas cheers dunc

Rivets m8.

Undo the back bumper, rivet it in place with some blacks rivets and once installed again, you won't notice it because of the exhaust.
