you could drill and self tap then on underneath the side indicators and maybe in the wheel arch if they keep coming off

Why not just put rivets through the arch trim & use the standard method of attaching the trim to the wing?

It looks shit. Instead of looking like a hard ass rally car it looks like some knob thought a rivet would look good there.
Get some M6 allen headed bolts.

lol. Mine were done on my VTS before I bought the car. They don't work on the VT* arches because of the shape of them. It just pulls the arch in where the rivet is. I've now removed them all and replaced them with bolts - much easier if I clip the arch something on track/while racing.

Tigerseal/silicon the fuck out of it on, won't come off. + use the original clips. Won't look shit... probably won't ever come of unless you break it, (or scrape the tiger seal of - scratching the paintwork underneath.. but who cares, the VT kit hides it).

^^^ This is what I mean with the bolts. Rivets don't work because of the way they pull it all in
