Yeah you could try the same tape that they use to fasten camera mounts. It's 3M VHB. Industrial strength acrylic double sided tape. You can buy it on e-bay and it isn't that expensive.

I'd give them a proper trail fit first! Mine were a nightmare to fit, had to cut and reshape them in the end!

Carbon ones that recently cropped up on eBay! They certainly weren't just a buy and fit job! However after a bit of work they look mint! I'll grab a photo!

stomp grips don't make a kit for the storm, you can buy a universal kit and cut it to the shape you want, easy to find on ebay. not sure if these are stomp tho, might be gripster.

Get some carbon fibre engine covers and it will look great,

noticed those replica frame covers don't have the cut out for the VIN like the proper ART made ones

do you need to have the VIN plate on show for an MOT?
