Default front splitter - screws or glue?

When fitting a front splitter is it best to use glue (which type is best) or screws, if screws are best where should they go to get most secure fit and if glues best where should i glue?

I bolted my HT Autos one onto my 2005 car as it was predrilled and so was the car. I may remove it and use some sealent along with the bolts just to stiffen it up a little in between the bolted areas.

Cheers

I did not want to glue mine as it is then permanant,and you cannot remove it for repair.
I fitted my splitter using number plate screws, mainly because I have a white car. I've seen some fitted with stainless screws.

Phone up your local dealer and order a pack of ten bumper clips.
Fitted mine with these - job done

If you are going to glue it on, then i`d get some Tiger Seal from your local bodyshop / parts shop.

Costs about £12 per tube and you`ll need a tube gun (or whatever you call it :P)

I have used this a number of times and it has never let me down.

Used it for spoilers, splitters, bonnet scoops, side skirts. Great stuff.

as said above go for some number plate screws, if you use tiger seal it will be on for good and you wont be able to remove it and if you do chances are it will break or leave the seal all over your bumper.
