After decided 23£ was wayyyyyyy to dear for clips for my gsi skirts, i know you can bond em, but i dont trust tigerseal enough, has anone ever just used say 2-3 rivet screws along the underside of the skirts to ensure they stay in the same place?

you cant the bottom of the skirts dont sit flush with the sills, theres a few points where you can screw them on in the slots where the jacking point covers go but they will still need something along the top to hold them to the car, ie tigerseal or doublesided tape

Tigerseal will be fine if you do it properly mate, used it to bond the gsi skirts and arches onto my xe a couple years ago and they're still on there

Yeah plenty people use tigerseal for spoilers without problems, if you have few tappers underneath they will take majority of weight aswel

Tigerseal will bond them on better than any other fixtures.

I bought brand new clips from vaux because i wasnt happy with the way they were sitting. i used tiger seal in the end.

Also after using tiger seal i felt that if i did for some reason drive through a big puddle i wouldnt have to get out and check my skirts and arches were still on.

Also having taken a gsi spoiler of a corsa which was bonded with tigerseal, i rate the stuff very highly. (took the boot paint with it)
