I had the same problem. Just fasten as many fastenings as you can. I only managed to get two screws in and mine look fine

If u have standard ones try and get the new ones to screwinto the same holes. If not then just drill new holes. Dunno if theres nything tht u can drill into behind th arches tho so be careful

one the back with vaux mud flaps you take the left and right torque screws out on the bumper and the mudflap will have a bit what goes into where the screw goes so you can just put the screw back through it and put two self tappin screws into the other two holes mate, and the front with mine i just put two in the top two holes just with self tappin screws

you could drill and rivit , silicone but i wouldnt suggest this , or screw with self tappers . i would personally go for rivits because they wont go loose

get yourself some proper gm ones, as said they look a million times nicer. to fit them you clip them on and then fasten them on using 1 or 2 self tapping screws in to your arch trims.
i wudnt bother with all the silicone, riviting or any other meathods' all they have go to do is hold there own weight, which is nothing tbf. one of my front ones was held on simply by the clips for months and never once fell off. and wen it was on coilovers the mud flads caught on every speed hump, and it still went no were.

dont rivit mate its fair to much hassle, self tappin screws are perfect for it, everyone whos done it will tell you the same, when you buy them from gm or vaux or whatver they normally come with screws
