There was a white LET on pistonheads that had strips and skirts fitted.
Here's a pic.

the fit but you have to jiggle the top of the skirt over the bottom of the bump strip and tbh it looks a mess.

Lose the bump strip.

Defo dont use tiger seal - clips are easy to fit. Just draw a line 2cm from the top of the sill along the length of the car and then mark off the gaps where the clips go on the skirts - theyre evenly spread (I think 16cm iirc and 3cm split for the rivets).

Use a rivet gin to attach them NOT self tappers!
