IM hoping to sort out my gsi skirts, finally, and thought id write a guide about it so that theres no need for any more questions. Ive read all threads i can find but have just a couple more questions

Ive bought a load of these

and the rivets, and wondered if it matters which way round they go, and also how do i rivet them on, do i go for putting both rivets in and then attachning, or one and then attaching and then the other or wot (if that makes sense)

Also i had a look and just wondered if this was right, and if so why is there space for another beneath


and finally are there any other fittings im missing and theres a load of clippy things running along the bottom here


I hope that all made sense, i dont think it is as im watching oliver beene at the moment

thank you

on mine we put all the clips on the skirts then painted the clips and pressed the skirt upto the car to see where the clips go. Then we put the rivets in, if you got the rivets from Vaux they should have like a double head on, this is so you can slide the clips on and off the rivets.

When all the rivets where in, we slid the clips onto the car then you just push the skirt on over the clips, its a bit fiddly and probably doesnt make sense right now but you will see it

that clip in the pic youve put up is in the wrong slot, needs to go in the other slot in the pic. Then that clip goes to the side of the car and theres some differen clips that go underneath

drill a hole a tiny bit bigger than the rivet, then use a rivet gun. I used a draper one that was a bout £15 but it was crap, kept chewing the rivets up so they got stuck inside
