There aren't any fixings included...

I haven't any spare time this week/end so I'll probably be fettling and fitting next week now...

I just offered them up to have a look at how the looked and fitted, the front will need aligning and holes drilling to match original bumper mounting holes under the bonnet and where they attach to the front edges of the front wings; the rears mount to the back edge of the rear wings using the two big self tapping screws, and then to under the back door... somehow?

More soon... ;)

Pretty self explanatory really. The screw through the side goes straight into the body. The 2 in the arch go into the existing captive nuts. I did have to grind/bend/tweak the metal arch extension to suit. A standard slitting disc works well on the fiberglass if you need to trim the corners themselves.

He wasn't kidding when he said "what fixings?" When I spoke to Darren @ KAP he said they usually glue them on.
