Default Sierra RS500 Lower Spoiler Fixing Brackets

Im in desperate need for some of these as do not want to bond my lower spoiler.

Am i correct in thinking i need a set of these clips and some foam double sided tape from 3M?

Where can i get the clips on as i cannot find them anywhere?

yes use that,what I done was heated the glue up then stuck the spoiler on, I could only use one clip as the threads where damaged on my spoiler,it's not coming off without damaging it.

don't forget to make up some shaped clear vinyl/plastic for the rear quarters so the spoiler doesn't rub on the paintI got the pre-shaped ones off ebay but ended up making my own from
RHINO HIDE Clear paint protection vinyl film TRIPLE LAYER | eBay

I bought the 15mm x 1mm length, i found the ones on ebay didn't fit the shape of my spoiler properly,that rhino hide is real good quality compared to the pre cut ones.

Just noticed this post

As said , A quaity double sided tape is all they were fitted with new

The side clips do help hold the spoiler firm and tight on the corners , but it will be ok without them

Can the same type of stuff be used for the body kit on the 3 door?


Obviously I would need either 6 or 8mm but is it the same type of stuff?


Thanks
