Need a bit of advice guys, im fitting some gsi skirts to my 4 door loon, I know they need some modification which isn't a problem I was just wondering the original fitting kit supplied by Vauxhall, is this available any where and could I fit it to my nova loon?
for example the clips can I buy them somewhere and fit them to the loon?
and the underside are just rivets I believe?
cheers

I'd use Astra GTE skirts or even Manta GTE ones. Better suited to the shape IMO.
The early Astra mk2's were offered in a 5dr GTE format with a 2 peice fin on the rear doors, could be an option.
As for fitting, they all use the same clips which can be bought from a dealer or nabbed from Tigras at scrap yards.

Iv found someone selling a kit for a corsa with the part numbers so was going to contact Vauxhall as will be a lot cheaper but can anyone let me know how many of each clip I will need please?

As far as i know you can still get clips from vauxhall. My brother fitted gsi skirts on his 4dr SAloon, was a right pain in the backside lol. I think he just used self tappers on the underside...

Yes I have, I used 2 long sections of sideskirt for each side trimmed down to fit.
The clips are available from vauxhall in packs of 15 (22 are needed iirc)
Hope that helps.

My brother fitted the fins too, but was a nightmare to do!
