im fitting a custom made air intake to my bonnet. it is going to be fixed on using rivets to hold it down securely but what adhesive is best to bond it on in the 1st place??

cheers

anything that bonds metal and plastics or the material u used for the scoop really, you will find some instances of no more nails will work a treat.

there is a body styling prouct that body shops use, i think it MAY be silkoflex - although i mite be mixed up this may be a product for smoothing etc, i think its that though.

thats super strong stuff they hold PANNELS on with and the like!

my mate works at chrysler, and he robbed - oops did i say that *borrowed* some SOOPER sticky stuff!

it is for use on gearboxes so isnt affected by hydraulic fluid (chemical) and water. and its so you can use the stuff, and put it together still when wet and its feckin strong!

mate had stick on vents, and he RIPPED the paint off trying to get these vents off when he changed to functional ones.

currently used to hold on both of our vents - mine are astra gte mk2 and his are astra mk3 gsi.

PU seam sealer, you can get it from any body shop/paint suppliers
