As Ricey says, excellent stuff but there are different Sika products for different applications. I think the one you want is Sika252. It's very important that the two surfaces you want to bond are cleaned of polish etc and decreased. Mask the area off and lightly abraded the two surfaces to be bonded with 320 paper to help adhesion. Have plenty of cloths and preferably trade wipes to clean up and put some latex gloves on as it's a swine to get off.

Sikaflex is awesome, we used to put transponders in boat hulls with it, once it had gone off you could literally stamp on them from above, the fiberglass would split before that gave up.

 

There is also a scotch vhb tape specifically designed for vehicle trim, mighty strong stuff, I will be using this when I put my lip on, as if it needs to come off you can run a fine blade behind to split it.

I used a product called vicar - its bonded my missus to me for 20 odd years now :p

 

Very expensive, and even more expensive if it comes undone. Best avoided. Haha.
