    Default Fitting SS Front Lip

    For anyone that has an SS front lip, just wondering how you attatched it. Did you just use screws, bolts or also use sikaflex?

    I bought a SS lip for my vs back in the day. And it screws on the inside of wheel arch.
    I dont remember if i use sticker flex in the middle of the lip. But see if you need it when you screw it on.

    I got some special plastic bits for the front lip but couldn't work out how they sit so I just screwed and sikaflexed it the bumper without them. If anyone knows what I'm talking could they post here how to use those bloody lug things? Maybe someone with a stock ss or s pak?

    It did'nt match my white, but i expected that. I think it has come off a VR or early VS which are Alaskan White, my ute is Heron White. Just dropped it off at the panel shop to get a respray.

    there are two screws on each side of the ends of the lip which will meet the front of your wheel arch. I used Urithane, worked a treat.

    Well i just stuck the lip on using standard household adhesive/sealant sikaflex from Mitre10, just got to wait for it to dry. I know its not the automotive sikaflex like the 227 one, but surely it will do the same job. I hope it sticks!
