don't bother with the rear i won't fit a mk2 bumper, the side skirts should have brackets with them which will need riveting on. the back part of the skirt can be glued. get to b+q and get some 'pinkgrip' a plumber i work with used this stuff to hold a boiler on the wall so it will hold your skitrs back

But surely silicone and the odd self tapper is gonna be a lot stronger than double sided tape? Silicone is surprisingly strong stuff when its set properly onto dry surfaces. As for the mk1 bumper, I'm not sure if the spoiler can go onto any mk1 bumper or just the GTE one, but if ur gonna custom fit the sideskirts, why not try bonding/screwing the spoiler to ur existing bumper. The mk1 bumper has a different patern on it so would prob look better that way. I'd offer it up to see how it looks, how easy u can fit it, and decide from there. Post some pics if u do it, I'd be interested to see how it looks!! Good luck! :P

get some pink grip, it's 100x stronger than no more nails. it's in a tube like no more nails and is easy to apply.

stick with the mk2 2 bumper it's loads better
