Arches!

Post by MattySAFC »

Since im trying to colour code my car atm, i've had to remove the wheel arches.
(just the black plastic bits on the outside of the car, not the actual inside arches)
But every arch i took off the plastic fixings snapped, so what could i put them back on with? Is there any types of glue or bond i can put them back on with?

Cheers

Cheers for that.
This sounds stupid but can these just be applied straight from the tube or do you need some sort of glue gun?

yer they all come in tubes , and you need to use a glue stick gun . ther just like a tube frame thingy usualy orange or black , ask in store they aint dear. you will need to ruffen up the surfaces on both the arches and body , id recomend getting some plastics clamps aswell . not hard job realy :)
