Arrived today thanks Mikey. They arent drilled as requested, but I guess I can handle that, maybe....

Red Duke · 25th June 2012, 05:29 PM

Got a text from my dad to say mine have arrived too, not looked at them yet, but I'll be going over there tomorrow to have a look!

Thanks Mike

ian turbo · 25th June 2012, 05:33 PM

Nice one

So now we can get more pics if them fitted ... sweet

Red Duke · 25th June 2012, 07:59 PM

Aye, I'll get them on ASAP. My dad is back to work tomorrow though, so it'll have to wait for decent weather and for him to give me a hand.

ian turbo · 25th June 2012, 08:03 PM

Sweet

Hi, great news, sorry about the not drilling part, its easy tho dont worry.

A short guide

The rubber edge trim, right i glued mine on with normal super model glue. It fits on snug but I liked the safety of it being glued on. You may want to do this before fitting the skirt up. If you have a mate you can glue it well easy, but just get the tip and run it down the grove of the rubber trim. Easy! Then put it on, oh and have a cloth if you make abit of a mess

Right, work out how far you want it to stick out, but please leave enough room to fit the dam thing up about half an inch

Right when I fitted mine I started from the back of the car, drill through and attached it up. Note on drilling, start with a small drill bit and do a pilot hole then you can take the skirt away and drill the big hole.

!!!!!!!Please before you go drilling check your not drilling into any metal or line etc, mine was in to plastic and nothing else but I just like to make sure

Then get a brick or two or something that fits under snug to hold the rest up. With the back screwed in place line up the skirt from the front. Once happy, I did sand as best to get as straight as possible. But if you notice anything abit of 600grit will sort it out. Just wrap it round a block to keep it flat as possible

Then work along the skirt till you reach the front. Why? because you will get a pinch tight fitting. Sure it dont matter but this is how I done mine.

Im nervous, my first ever home made kit and now its really out there. Hope you like and any problems dramas just call (if I ever bloody answer lol) text, PM, morse code

Hope hope some of this helped

Mikey

dan-hipgrave · 26th June 2012, 05:34 AM

Yeh that clarifies it for me as I thought they used the original sideskirt mounting screw points, but you say you didn't do it that way. I'll have a look at fitting mine next time the cars out.
