fill the top of the arches with fibre glass then ya can screw or rivet throught em
this also stops them from flexing and they are alot more secure

is it possible to fit the front arch and side skirt so you can take off the front fenders?

Use angle iron on the sills to hold the skirts, Rivet the angle iron to the sills and and bond and rivet the skirts to the angle iron.
The arches cant be screwed/bolted or riveted on, there is no flange on them to make this possible, unless u make ur own return flange. So basically your left with the choice of dond them on with fibreglass resin, or bond them on with fibreglass resin

Bolts are the way to go mate, thats the correct way! a 10mm bolt with 2 big washers at either side of the bumper mount, and a nut over that with maybe some silicone over it to prevent it from vibrating off! .

or cover the car in klingfilm fill the tops with fibreglass resin and press on to get a shpae. then stick the archs on with tigerseal and then screw into the solid fibreglass from behind with self tappers. then smooth em in. thats what ive half done anyway.

i guess i will bolt on the bumpers, use fiberglass on the skirts and arches , but i will make it possible to take off the front fenders (whit the arches on).
this is if i ever get hold of this kit 
but what do you do to the plastic locarys inside the front fenders ?
and how much lowering and what offset is needed ?
do you have to cut out much of the original arch ?

dont hav to cut out owt do ya!? just that lip and gives u a bit more space , offset of either 35 or betta 39! and dropped 40mm is low , as when they r on standard they r still low!
am gonna go 40mm i think although i considerd gettin gsi springs for it! which i think is 15mm lower than standard!
