Ok,finally got around to doing the bodywork on the Renault 5 Le Car turbo im restoring.I've bought a kit which includes sill covers and long parts that go around the rear edge of the roof and down the window pillars at the front.What is the best way to attach these?Fibreglass parts are quite thin which puts me off using self tappers or something similar.Is it ok just to bond the sill covers on with fibreglass?Roof parts i can bond on with a sealant,any recommendations?Thanks!

The normal way of attaching these grotty fibreglass parts is with polyurethane adhesive/sealant e.g. sikaflex.

They were even grottier when they got here from France,some twit thought that just wrapping them in an open ended roll of cardboard with a couple of bits of sellotape round them would protect them all the way over here,they were all split!
