    Blue tack, so when you knock it off you will lose it and your car will look good again.

    Selt tappers & maybe some of those captive nuts you get with speakers & the like. laguna splitters were a cool (subtle) mod back in the glory days of Nova modification, do it.

    All joking aside i would rivet it on. Get some with big heads, or use washers. Its in a place where they can be easily drilled off and retrieved if need be.

    I just used to use 500 self tappers

    I think mine was the only nova out of about three or four running a lamb-buna splitters back int day, that didnt constantly come off when scuffed on high kerbs and such, when asked why, i simply said there is about 30 screws holding the bugger on, did a screw every few cm when fitting it

    My old one was an Espace one but obviously the same principle.

    Drill holes in the bumper and splitter from each corner then every so often keep drilling through both in place until you get to the middle.

    Make sure the hole size is smaller than the screw you use as it won't bite into them otherwise.

    Next between each gap put some silicon sealer... Not much though. When you put the bumper and splitter with some self tappers together work from the outside inwards and it should get a decent seal together... Then wipe the excess off.

    Thats what I did about 10 years ago and it didn't fall off
