been giving my car a god run today and found that one off my front carbon wings decided to part company with the metal strut what is the best adhesive for it ??

silkaflexmake sure you clean the area and rough it up slightly to get the best adhesion

i drilled some holes in my bracket to allow extra adhesion

I did two things on mine.
1) I drilled the side wall of the wing and sent the bar through, not under the lip.
2) Once the bar is glued and set inside the wing, I used aluminium mesh to glue over the bar and increase the area contact with the wing. I smeared glue all over and through the mesh.

1 year and no sign of them coming off.
