brom86 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I will be soon removing my ridox spats and going oem. I have seen a few sets removed and they have been fitted with a double sided tape. Is this from the factory? If so doesn't anyone know or have a link so good tape to re apply? Or are people just bonding now? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Don't bond them on mate. It'll be a mess if yo ever want them off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 On both my old Supras I used Badge tape to stick them on plus the screws that hold it in the arch and underneath.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 3m do trim tape, which is specifically for this kind of thing. I would consider using some sort of film/wrap on the bodywork before doing it though, will save you a lot of work of you ever want to remove the spats.

brom86 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'll order that. Just standard ebay stuff ok? I'll need to bet brackets made up for underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think I used 3M tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I used mammoth tape, stronger than 3m. Can leave slight marks on the bodywork if/when you want to remove though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'll order that. Just standard ebay stuff ok? I'll need to bet brackets made up for underneath I noticed the brackets were still on my car yesterday mate. I'll get them posted to you as I don't need them anymore. Other than the brackets they just screw into the stock holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the brackets they just screw into the stock holes Yeah this just use these brackets and the stock arch screws/bolts and use a few strips to stick the spats to the body the 3m stuff was really good and when I removed the spats 2 years later the residue cleaned straight off with brake cleaner.
