OK thanks but one last question someone was saying that they actually kit the original sills off and put the skits in their place. it this a way of doing it.

yes, generally they bond onto the original sills using adheasive and a screw at each end into the arches, combat ones r quite deep so may need brackets. that guy was spkin crap, just on the board 2 annoy by the looks of his username.

Has anybody else had trouble fitting fibreglass combat skirts ??
Bought some last week & had to go down to the body shop to see what they meant as they fitted so badly. It is now doubled the cost of having them done & they have had to basically cut loads off the skirts & the plastic arches!! :mad::mad::mad:
