could do all sorts of things, zip clips make it flappy, self tappers would be ok but bit of a bodge, some nice shiney nuts and bolts would be better :)

Yeah i was thinking of nut and bolting it but where to? And it isnt the best of fits around the bumper? :/ Any pictures of anyone who has done it would be a great help

I've knocked it half off on a kerb, so in the middle of re-fitting will try and get some pics but cut and corners of the valance to the right shape, going to weld some patches in there soon as theres no where to screw into on the corners. but i've put screws through the splitter into the valance on the side bits of the splitter if you know what i mean.

Hello,
I have 360 with front fog lights and aftermarket mk1 golf duckbill splitter. Splitter has round corners at the ends and my volvo's bottom is more or less straight and there is a gap when I am trying fitment of it. In previous post it is said that mainly you used just self tappers and you didn't have to cut anything or modify. And from this pic everything looks very nice Image but reality in my garage is a bit different. Any ideas? :)
