sideskirts again

j16jrf · Jan 16, 2006

can people please post up pics of their cars with side skirts fitted. Not you fen haha, i have decided not to go for the 968 skirt more the normal box style or something similar.

So pics and details of where to purchase would be a great help.

Thanks in advance
Jamie

These are the sideskirts I was considering. They look much better than the std box syle ones I think. £250 for the pair but i've still not plucked up the courage to take the plunge though.

Mine is fitted with the box style skirts and I bought them off Ebay for £40 and £20 P&P, then went down to Halfords bought some primer, paint and lacquer. Sanded them down, painted them (in the house for warmth- not really a good idea?!) Jacked the car up a side at a time and pot riveted them on, three in the door and four underneath. If you want you could also spray on some stonechip.

Not sure - I didn't fit them. The S2/Turbo sill trims bolt onto threaded studs protruding from the underside of the car with nylon nuts, so it may be something like this???

Cheers,

When ESS fit their covers they use some sort of rubberised glue which is pretty common in the bodyshop trade and a couple of self tapping screws through the wheel arch lips.
