Just wondering, do these stick on with Tigerseal / Sikaflex etc, or do they use clips like the original GSI ones?

And do they come with all the fittings needed for them?

But are they bonded on as well Matt?

Did you buy them from tuning.co.uk? If you did, did they come with any bonding agent?

bought them from tuning.com yeah. and i dont think are bonded on as they are only roughly fitted on as the bloke who did it for me didnt want to do it properly because they are going to be getting sprayed black eventually. (should of bin done by now but have had no money). so i think they are only screwed on.

edit: they didnt come with any bonding agent just screws

Ok, so are they only screwed in on the arches? As I would rather not bond them on if possible as so far everything I have done to my car is fully reversible

Ok, and are they secure? Are there holes in the skirts ready to be screwed onto the arches?

Do you know if there is anyway of screwing them into the sill as well?

Sorry for all the questions mate, you have been a great help
