Front - one screw just behind my mudflap.


Rear - two screws.


Middle, i did the same as Tom Simes and drilled the sill. Then popped a bolt through the sill. Then painted them with Hammerite




Picture Tom also sent me.



Hope that helps.

Edit: actually, you can see them better here:

They would look nice on your car IMO wooly101uk

I used a bit of tiger seal along the edge where the skirt fits up near the door sill.

Yes Tom, we can just about see them beyond all that dirt

My spraying is perfect

I never had time to laquer it, or i think it would have looked alright, just needed a bit of wet sanding and rubbing compound and wouldn't have looked too bad

Get them ordered

I drilled the sill using 6mm drill piece and then put the bolt through with a washer either side. Not too sure what size the bolts were but they must have been bigger because i had to use a spanner to screw it in in the first place - before putting the nut on

haimsey you did put hammerite on the sill itself aswell as the bolt? doesn't so much matter about the bolt rusting, its the sill you want to protect and stop it rusting mainly. bolts can easily be changed to nice shiny ones

the skirts look smart and look like they're a good fit

I just painted the bolt. I realise what youre saying about the sill. I painted it where i had drilled through it Thats was all. TBH i guess i should have painted the whole of the sill first.
