Seriously though Halfords do a double sided sticky tape that is for fixing exterior body trim which should be OK, otherwise you could ask David Hendry cars who import the zero/sports gear as they may be able to help

Nope, I hadnt forgotten, I'm a Blue Peter badge Winner dont you know so came up with a clever plan .

After dry fitting several times I had the problem sussed.

My plan was to attach the carbon bit to the grill itself off the car and not to the actual bumper after grill fitted, allowing for a future de-tango

So I offered it up to the grill, secured with masking tape to simulate being stuck, and amazingly it worked first time... I was able to remove grill with carbon bit intact and there was sufficient surface area for carbon bit to bond to just the grill off the car.

I removed the Masking tape and whent for the Live fit, I used some trim tape that has stuck it like the proverbial **** to a blanket .

Rest assured its gone to a work very good home and has done the sights of London last night on the tunnel cruise, proudly on the front of the car

Right where can i get some carbon for the rear
