Bodywork
With my old exhaust i cut the rear valence (see pic) Now i have bought some grille mesh to replace it. The question is what will be the best way of attaching it? I was going to weld it but just checked and its alloy.

Re: Bodywork
Use sikaflex or tigerseal, will take you all of one minute, just hold securly with some bulldog clips to allow it to set. Can always slice it off at a later date with a craft knife.

Re: Bodywork
