Hello Þrandur and other offroad enthusiasts,

At this moment I am upgrading my Suzuki Jimny once more; raising it from the currently 32" tires onto 37inches...
About 2 years ago I already visited your country with this car and bringing some fender flares from "Alltplast" back home as a souvenir.
The new tires are already fitted, new -stronger- axles are in place and very soon some little longer coil springs.

Now I need some advice how to put the fender flares properly onto the car?

What would be the best option to attach them: 1)glue , 2)kit and/or 3)screws?
And any advice how to fill up the small gaps between the fender flares and the body. Using sandpaper to shape them a little more solves a little bit, but still no tight fitting....

Thanks already for all your input!!!

Greetings out of Holland, Fred

ps. Amazing country you live in!!!
I would advice people NOT to go there......since it can be addictive :o]

Sikaflex and Würth

Hi Fred!

I think the best way to attach the fender flares is to use glue. The type that is most popular here is called Sikaflex 11FC. It is both bonding and flexible. Another good choice is a similar glue from Würth.

These types will help to fill the small cracks.

All the best,
Thrandur
