few questions regarding body kit install

hey guys, a few questions for those of you who have fitted euro divisions body kits.

1. i have parking distance sensors front and rear so i have ordered that option. with the kit came the activator and 3m tape backed parking distance sensor holders. do i glue them in place before install or do i mount them once the bar is off and sensors clipped in?

2. do i glue them in any specific rotational direction in the bar?

3. i got the front bar with the air duct option. do the air ducts that come with the m3 rep front have to be trimmed? also what sealant did you guys use to glue them in place?

You can just stick the sensor holders in using the 3m tape provided but I used hot glue just for peace of mind.

Before you stick them into place put the bar in front of the car and connect the sensors up and align them in front of the holes on the bar then then stick the holders on once you done that

The ducts do have to be trimmed anyway and also you might have to trim the oil cooler duct a fair bit aswell or you can just remove that.
Also you should cut a hole on the top of the brake duct on the drivers side so you get air flow to oil cooler

As for mounting them you can just drill 2 holes on the top of each side of the opening and screw them in like that

I hope all of that made sense lol

def put the sensor in the clip before attaching the clip to the bar. this way the sensor will go through and alignment will be good.

I would use epoxy to glue the sensor clip to the inside of the bumper cover. Scuff the surfaces first with some rough sandpaper.
