Has anyone ever fitted M-Tech 2 side skirts to a series 1 convertible? Can they be fitted to look presentable? What needs to be done? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Gary.

You can make the coupe skirts fit a cab however the sills on a cab are a lot deeper so the bottom section of the silk skirt does not reach all the way so you either have to cut the sill panel and glue it or heat it up bend it and screw it :mad:

Either way if you stick your head down at the sill level you can see it's been bodged but not too obvious when looked at from above

Thanks guys for your replies. Is it true that the M-Tech 2 convertible side skirts are deeper than the coupe versions?
