I got a Fenda extenda for my birthday and it came with 4 screws and requires drilling the mud guard which I don't really want to do.
But it also says it can be glued.so which is the best way to fit this and if glueing what's the best glue?

I used Araldite, but it can get messy, and difficult to clean off if you get any in the wrong places.
So use ordinary clear silicon sealant, clamp the fenda extender in place whilst it sets, it'll stick like stuff to a blanket. You won't need to use the screws
I did this on another fender extender that I fitted.

Just clean and roughen up the surfaces to stick together.
No unsightly screws, transparent, flexible and sticks brilliantly.

good info, I didn't want to use screws. And the default glue seemed inadequate. Can I use one of the glues from PoundLand instead???

Cheers for the info, will use one of the adhesives mentioned and sorry for not doing a search guru it was just a spur of the moment question :)

i'm sure that i used sikaflex 298 or the 291 without screws, its not come off in 10,000 miles and is still solid.

Buy some silcon sealant from Poundland, it'll do the job.
