As above.... has anyone ever refitted a body kit ? When i bought mine last year the body kit was removed. The person i bought the car off contacted me later and told me he'd got the body kit in his shed. However he wanted money for it. ( call me tight but, if its the kit off the car it should come with the car ) Anyways Ive bought a complete kit £50. Is it a case of redrilling and body kit mastic ? Im guessing that some of the holes have been filled in.

If the holes have been filled in yeah I guess.

But I fitted my kit last year with tiger seal, and there is no way it's coming off with or without screws.

As long as the surface is clean and you hold it on firm, after an hour I don't see you needing the screws.

Yep, use tiger seal or sikaflex to bond it on, don’t go drilling holes.

Best off getting condensation cure sealer to glue it on, temp cure will be pants in this weather.

Some of the holes/screws like around the lip of the wheel arch may still be there as they also hold on the plastic wheel arch liners?

So have a good look around to see what can be used.
