funny u should ask this, as i put mine on this morning?

i had x10 original vauxhall clips (instead of 16??) and missed of every OTHER clip, i drilled 2mm diameter hole/s into the syll panel and used stainless steel sheet metal screws and they went on sweet!

then i just added some rally slag brembo and koni graphics and i was job done in under 1 hour! :lol:

personally i wouldnt use tiger seal/mastic etc on skirts, wot happens if you need/want to take 'em off again?? more hassle than screws!

i had problem with the one on my gsi the bloody top of the skirt would come a way from the rear wing , so i used double side tape from the builder center .

Also, what i was thinking is, wont the sill rust where u have drilled into it? because it is bare metal?

anyway of getting around that?
