Fender extender fitted with silicone.
Evening all. I fitted a Pyramid fender extender today and just wanted to share my fitting of choice. I went for Granville silicone sealant and adhesive, £4.99 in Halfords rather than the self tappers. I weighed up ordering Sikaflex on eBay but decided this would hopefully do the job!

Re: Fender Extender Mounting
I used silicone sealant and mine's still going strong after three months, looks much neater than tape but a bit more fiddly!

Re: Fender extender fitted with silicone.
We have a demo that needed a spoiler fitting just for show. As they wanted to remove it,so we cut off the fixing lugs ,siliconed. Sealer it on.
They decided to road test the car.Its still on it lol.

Did. Not. Work. Applied gentle pressure with my arm as I was looking for he stock horn location, and off it popped! Self tappers and tape is the way forward!

Re: Fender extender fitted with silicone.
i done mine with Sikaflex no clamps nowt and its still solid after 2 years. silicone should work just as well if its exterior type and not that silly bathroom stuff. you want the stuff that stinks to high heaven of vinegar and makes your eyes water.
