Good evening Ben. There's a guide for fitting sideskirts "properly" on TopBuzz (http://topbuzz.co.uk/) -> Modifications -> External -> Fitting GTE/GSi sideskirts.

Or if you don't want to drill your sill (I don't blame you if you don't) then you could see about sticking the clips to the sill with something like tigerseal. They're not heavy so I can't see that being a problem.

I did mine myself and it was very easy. i rivet them on. The easiest way to do is as follows

get some double sided tape aand stick it onto the clip then clip onto side skirt. Face side skirt to car then press on the side skirt where clip is and slide skirt off clip so that clip stays on car. Then drill and rivit on. I dipped each rivet in red oxide before riviting.

there are some pics

as said above, REALLY easy to do it yourself. just take your time tho. simply line up the skirts to your car and figure out where the clips go, then drill through and screw them on and afterwards just slide the skirts into place.
