Gte/gsi side skirts

[bakerboy83]

Hi
so I bought fiberglass side skirts (Wish I never now) and then went to vauxhall and got the clips to then realise the skirts don't have anything for the clips to attach to. Has anyone used these before and how did you mount them? Are they scrap and I should buy the real deal?

show us the backs.. they probably need bonding on

[bakerboy83]

Ah they are at my mums so can't get any pics but they are smooth so nowhere for the clips to clip to. Dam it I know this so going to be a case of bonding them and I don't really want to do that as I need to be able to take them off.

You just drill them for the sill bolts, paint them, then use stickaflex type bonding etc and glue tape them on..

[bakerboy83]

Thanks for the reply Scott but I don't really have a clue what your talking about screw the clips on to the sill
then I'm lost

[bakerboy83]

And with my lack of skill I'll prob fuge it up anyway wish I just bought stock ones now !

[scott.parker]

No...right, im guessing from memory, iirc fiberglass skirts have the same shape moulded so they can bolt to the underside of the car like genuine one would, so drill them in the correct place if thetes not already holes for the bolts, then the top edge etc is glued with a flexible car body bonding glue, you then use masking tape to hold pressure on it until the glue sets etc.

I wouldnt pepper my sills in holes for the sake of some naff fibreglass skirts. OEM ones man.

Yea your right Craig I don't want to have to bond them to the car and I want to use the clips. Anyone want to some fibreglass skirts
