Why do vauxhall not use proper ways of attaching sideskirts... in the last 2 days Ive lost both my back jacking point covers and now to top it off the l-shaped piece on one side has gone awol.... great!!! Anyone else had this problem??
Can these be bought from vauxhall or any internet sites???
Corsas suck!!!

well now u mention it i had the same problem on mine, i lost both my driver side jackpoints, so if u find out il watch this space, however i lost mine through kwik fit as they wudnt jack my car up on the pneumatic ramp as they were scared the skirts would be damaged so they done it manually with trolley jacks, i dont think they put them on correct - however the jackpoints have bits of wire holding them to the car i thought?????

let us know, would be interesting to hear the price, however im sure you could go on ebay and get complete sideskirts in the colour you want for cheaper.

If you attach them inside with the little plastic wire bits then they shouldn't come off. Clip them in properly too!
Tigerseal though. jobs on!
