It looks like the kit you referenced comes with self tapping screws.

I don't remember what size drill bit I used but I made sure it was much narrower than the screws that came with the kit. If I had to guess the bit size I used was 1/16 or 5/64. You just want to make a small enough hole to where you aren't fighting with the screw when screwing it in the bumper. You also want to make sure you use a low torque setting on the drill so you don't strip the holes.

I would like to know how to fit the lip I saw the two corners sides have to be fix with double side tape ( need to heat the double side tape for a better fixation)
But regarding the lip I need to screw the bumper or there are holes in the bumper and just need to drill the lip before to screw the bolts
Thks for your help

If I remember correctly, there are two predrilled holes on the ends of the bumper that should help you to line up the lip. After that you would have to drill through the lip and bumper to secure it in the middle.
