Title: Plastic side skirt clips
Post by: tunnie on 08 November 2011, 18:56:49: I've got some new clips to go on first, how do these actually attach to the car? :-\

Some of them are currently broken

Post by: tunnie on 08 November 2011, 19:27:03: ok, figured that out, actually very easy. The end clip though, has a black plastic flap thing, is that supposed to be there or left from previous skirt?

I'll use a spare clip on it.

Thanks :y

Post by: tunnie on 08 November 2011, 19:50:30: All done, this car used to have Irmscher body kit, something was odd it would not come out. Had some spare clips (Thanks Chris!)

So just snapped it off, behind the clip was some gunk, had to get a chisle, wack it and it came off so the clip would sit flush.

All back together now.

Also changed air filter while I was there, couple of nice little jobs sorted :)

Cheers for the help :y

Post by: twiglet on 08 November 2011, 20:10:32: Does that mean mean that someone is going to have a slightly 'flappy' Irmscher side skirt? :-X

Post by: feeutfo on 08 November 2011, 20:20:33: Nah, it's only one lug of two per clip.

Post by: tunnie on 08 November 2011, 20:22:49: Surprised how easy it went on, just lined it up, quick wack, clipped on pushed on further along, then quick wack at each clip point.

Although i am missing the two screws for the end plate :(

Not screws, those expanding clips. And they were in the holes they go in...
