I recently got hold of some colour coded side skirts off a 5 dr, when i came to fit them (to my 3dr) yesterday they seemed a little longer (5 mm or so).
Should they be longer or am i just going a little mad? I no longer have my original 3 door ones to check against!
-
I have 3 door sideskirts on my 5 door, no difference as i see it, just get them fitted :happy2:
-
cheers!
Only fitted one yesterday! was a nightmare, had to remove the fixing kit as it didnt seem to be doing anything.
Is there are simple way of fitting them? Couldnt find any guides!
-
There are 4 or 5 star shaped screws if I remember correctly, 2 or 3 underneath along the chassis, and 1 on each end in the whel arches.
Then there is a LOT of adhesive sticking them on, I used a plastic ice scraper to prize mine off, but you will need something quite strong to stick them back on afterwards.
-
Yeah used alot of back to back tape and tigerseal.
The prob i had was getting the height correct, I managed to stick it a little too high and the screws didnt fit in! Had to take off and refix!
Is there are knack to fixing them on? :happy2:
-
Maybe masking tape first to line everything up?. Then use a stick of chalk to mark up ?. :happy2:
