you'll need clips from vauxhall - about 8 each side if I rember corectly -also some self tapping screws to hold then from underneath and some pop rivets + gun (?15 for gun ?2 for pack of 20 rivets) to hold clips to car.

You'll also need some foam tape to keep the rear 1/4's in place and 4 push pins that puch into the side arch to hold in from the side.

Easy to fit - bugger to line up.

If I remember correctly its abouit 1" from the bottom of the sill along and 5" between each clip.

You can be slightly out coz the clips are on sliders

The rivots are well weird, LOL


i also noticed that the rivots need to be put on the car frist and the clips slid on from the side as the extra lip on the rivot won't go through the clip

The black dots are push buttons and you use the same rivots and push the caps over the rivot head and it grips, holding it tight.
