QUESTION: M-TECH SIde skirts on a CAB

[JAMZ]

Sup guys..

K,ive tried most of the m-tech kit to see if its all ok before the respray tomorrow,the side skirts look as though there not for the car,,they are and they still look ok but ive got all orig OE clips so i wanna use em,but fixing the bottom to the cill under the car just wont happen..

anyone else have this problem...their must be a 1.5'' GAP from where the clips SHOULD fix too..it wont be a problem,il just make some brackets up and fix with them,but am confused to why they dont reach...

Has the CAB got different under seals to saloon models?

[Sjoerd320i]

cabs have bigger sills than 2doors because they have to get their rigity(spel) from something becauss they don't have roof so the sills are "fatter" if you know what I mean

[TOURINGDADDY]

Y dint i know that (what a tit )

[JAMZ]

that explains alot...thks peeps..

it can be done ok but it wont look so pretty under the car..

il still use the clips on the skirts,make an L shape piece of steel,fix that to the clamp then mallet the outher side to the shape of the the cill and screw..thks dad,should be ok though at the min..

howz the gaskets coming on? here yet?

hi mate got same prob ,let me know how you get on,how about some picsov brackets when fitted,good luck

[nav786]

you can cut the skirt down the middle. the bit that goes under the car and clips . if you cut along thelenght of the skirt then add a strip of plastic material, and then attach the strip you cut off, it will work fine. (if your with me)

For ScottyBeemer..


I still used the OE clips for the bottom of Shirt which are surposed to clip round the seal...these didnt reach quite far enough so i used a self-taping screw to fix it to it..

:put the clip to the skirt,then screwed through the clip onto the seal with a 1'' Self Tapper....its very secure and saves alot of time messing round with aluminium strips or making make shift brackets..
