Default how does l-sportline kit attach?

i just recieved my l-sportline kit(front&rear bumper + side skirts) from a fellow member in the forum, but i cant tell how you are supposed to attach the front&rear bumper. there are no screws or anything. now the side skirts do come with screws and instructions. is this something in should be worried about? also when i lift the rear bumper its not stiff at all, in fact it kind of bends and i guess thats b/c it says its rubber inside or something. is this normal? i know a couple of ppl have this kit so any info would be appreciated

I've got the same kit but I had it shipped directly to my bodyshop and didn't see it off the car at all / didn't observe the install.

I do know the OEM rear bumper cover is quite flexible, so I suspect the L-sportline one is as well.

i wouldn't worry about screws. when i had my wald kit put on they used their own screws and didn't even use the screws i gave them. just make sure you take it to a good body shop so they can do a proper job fitting the kit on

Yes, they are very flexable, its just a beauty cover for whats behind it.
