Side Skirts

[paulvault]

Hey guys,

so iv had my 197 for over two week now and when i was looking to buy one i quite liked the carbon side skirts which mine doesnt have even though i have the front splitter.

i have found some on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Renau...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5d26198710 and was wondering what people think for them?

also how easy are they to fit and does any cutting / drilling need to be done?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. :thumbup:

i didnt like them when i first saw them but they grew on me the more i saw them so ended up gettin a set for mine, they arent carbon fibre tho mate they are black plastic with a carbon effect surface,

They are easy to fit,the skirts come with a fitting kit.
First you need to slide the clip in the end of the skirt in the slot then put it up against the car and you need to drill a hole in the body of the car for the clip to go in.
Then drill holes in the skirt where the pot rivets go it shows an arrow where you need to drill.After that i unscrewed 3 self taping screws on the car ready to put the skirt on..
You willl need a hand with the next bit,place the skirt in place then pop the clip in at the end of the skirt then you put the self tapping screws back into place and that holds it all into place.then i justed put the pot rivets in to hold it all into place:thumbup:
