  • How to mount front lip on MK IV

    Can anyone suggest a non-permanent method of mounting a front lip? The one I have has all the tabs but they aren't stepped like an OEM lip so I need to improvise. I was thinking of drilling some holes in the tabs and using a few bolts with nylon locknuts to hold it in place. I also considered self-tapping screws but I'm not sure that they won't back out over time so I'm leaning towards the bolt/nut combo. I'd like to stay away from adhesives since I think it would be a major pain to go back to stock lip in the fall. If I go with screws or bolts, how many would be sufficient to hold it on? It looks like I could easily put one on each side of the center vent, and maybe 2 or 3 more on each side from the outer vent to where the screw in the fender liner goes into the lip, but would that be enough or should I be using more?

    i used a screw and a nut with metal washers to secure mine.. There's about 2 or 3 per side and the middle part of the valance was fine but mine was oem for a golf bumper, albeit, on a jetta one.
