Mud flaps fitting (Advice please)

[Cricketboy]

Hey msc I have a set of mudflaps for my k11 and I kno to fit them u need to remove the whhels drill the three holes and bolt them on.

I was thinking to save me hastle of removing the wheels will they stick on with something like no more nails? I kno that the rare boot spoilers can be fitted with a glue so will it hold on the flaps?

Also if it will what should I use? No more nails was an example what adshives have you used before with success?

Thanks!

Do the fitting holes have to be in metal or is plastic fine? Also how deep do the holes have to be roughly? fwn

self taper screws are good for this just dont make the hole too big
hole should be smaller than screws

If you're drilling the metal, make sure you coat the hole and the screw in some of that black gunky undershield stuff before you screw it in. Gives you a chance of stopping rust forming on the hole .

What should I coat the metal in? To prevent rust I presume

 

[Ognyan]

Primer + Paint / Primer + Underseal

There's no point spraying underseal onto primer, just spray it on the metal.
