Just maybe I'll get the oppertunity in the next week to get my car repaired....

Any reccomendations for bonding a fibre glass front splitter to a Scoob bumper? (I'll be using the screw type fixing things as well)
Just glass tape and resin, or something more flexible?

And how well does the Isopon "bumper fill" work?

Thanks

I used (flexible) Bayer silicon based glue and 3M two parts epoxide adhesive for fitting the STI air dams in my WRX spoiler and the end result is perfect, I have tested them with maximum speed many times without problems.

"Cicaflex", (sp?) from car paintdealers etc is unbeatable. Sticks really well, and tremains flexible.
It holds my STi6 spoiler on with no bolts at the legal limit of 70mph :

Silkaflex is the kiddie, should be able to get it from a car paint retailer, check yellow pages for one.

You can also get Sikaflex from boat chandlers.
