   front bumper goes on ok ( clips etc )
   sides will have to glue not sure and then tape them on for 24hrs i think..
   and back bumper should just go on..
   but as i said you will need to cut away the back arches, too make room for they meaty VTR arches...

    nah tiger seal is like putty it does not make it brick hard, gives it some flexibility, i have put my one with glue and it does not give me ney problems no noises etc had it on for abot 4 months now! not a problem let the glue dry over night along with somthing to support it and you are fine!

    Front and rear bumpers bolt straight on.
    I cut about an Inch off the majority of the rear arches.
    The door and rear quarter/arch pieces will clip into the holes where the original flat arch bump strips are. I put tiger seal around the clips, and around the edges of each trip piece and clamped them in place with tape overnight.
    The front arches are the same. You can drill holes into the arches where the clips on the arch trim would match. I cheated and bonded it straight on with tiger seal though.
    
    Theres a guide on how to do it mate.

    Tiger seal.
    
    It's about £6 a tube.
    I did my whole VT kit with one tube, and still had loads to spare.

    hi, i was just wondering im not sure if you will get what i mean but where the clips sit into the metal holders what did you do with them to make the arches and kit sit flush? did you take the metal holders off and just bond or leave them on?
