Easy simple qn hopefully

but other than ripping them off and possibly cracking them is there an easy way to remove factory fitted skirts (dont care abt clips) just want to avoid any damage :D

Apart from carefully pulling them off i dont think there is a easy way.
Whoever took mine off must have ripped them straight off as its left like an indent in the plastic where they were attached to the clips.

Are you planning on bonding the clips onto the car then fitting the skirts?
Or just sticking the skirts on without clips?

I have mine to fit, but can't be arsed go get any clips, so i was just thinking of sticking them on,lol.

I tried that, and they didn't stay fitted for long :oops:
That was just tigerseal tho, as i didn't want drill holes through the car body.

Nope, riveted to the goddam body all the way down LOL.

Like stuart said, not going for looks, they needed to be on and not fall off in a hurry, so the riveter came out!

Piece of piss to drill off if need be, but they were painted on the car so theyre staying on!

Theyre not GM skirts either, theyre fiberglass patterns, so i had no mounting holes anyway! Fooking light though!
