Hi All
Can anyone tell me the best adhesive to use to fix the light bezel to the body, mine flew off yesterday but luckily was able to retrieve it. Looks like Sikaflex was used before.

Sikaflex/Tigerseal is your best bet

It should be secured with a bolt or 2 accessed from behind via the front grille IIRC , sikaflex just helps it stop moving around it shouldnt be the only thing holding it in

Google CT1 I have used it on various jobs on mine, with no problems.

My Lupos still retain the 2 bolts to each side, you probably have new bezels.

Looks like the bolts were broken off and not much adhesive applied just two blobs at the bottom when it could have been loaded with adhesive to hold them, need something to hold them and not have to worry about them flying off again. Think I will try the CT1.

This is what you want. TVRs are held together with this - Its what holds on my rear light covers , windscreen surround/trim, front indicators and headlight covers.

Just make sure you wear gloves and mask up the car , sikaflex is very sticky and takes days to get off skin! I speak from experience.
