Re-attaching old front cycle wings

My front wings have been through the wars a little. When I bought the car they were attached with zip-ties and some bonding. Although it seemed to be more than upto the job it looked a little ugly because they were numerous holes in the wing for the zip ties.
Anyhow I've tried to come up with a better solution without buying new wings.
Any opinions? Should I also use some silaflex aswell?

How about welding some mesh to your wing stays and then glueing?
