Anyone know how to fit coupe mtech2 skirts onto a cabriolet?
Wings need modifying?

Firstly, we need to know what year your cab is?
If it's a very late one, then the only mod needed will be the side skirts, which need a slight mod to fit.
If it's a chrome bumper one, then the rear bumper will fit, but not 100% as you need to change all the rear bumper mountings over.
Also the front valance will need changing to a facelift one.

Because there is NO way to PROPERLY attach them to the bottom of the sill without EPIC bodgery / Tigerseal etc. But you know that :)

LOL, maybe that's your way, but I've managed to use the sill clips too hold it in place. We did it on Jasso's car on here last year.
