Lads see number 5 in the link below the clamps that snap on to the sideskirts to hold them on to the car.

Do i need to drill holes on to the car to get these clamps to fit.?.

can't get the link to work ?

Link is now working.

I'm pretty sure you do. I was going over the installation for the e28 one today and you have to drill for it. You also have to get the diameters exactly right or it'll all go a bit pete tong. You drill 8mm holes then open them to 9mm with a hand drill...

Here's the E28 one. I imagine it'll be more or less the same idea.

Ooops, just looked at the link. I thought you were talking about the clips along the length of the sill. I think you maybe drill for that one too. It's all in the guide anyway..

I've just removed a full tech 2 kit and can't work out what one number 5 is?? The side pods all fit using the holes from the original bumpstrips, it's bracket number 20 that need holes drilling. There are 16 of these brackets each needing 2 holes drilling.

I have a feeling these are why you can buy a drilling template from bmw to fit the kit.

Number 21 is the clamps that hold the bottom of the sideskirt to the underneath of the car,Now number 5 is what holds the sideskirt tight to the body when you pull back the sideskirt it snaps away from the number 5 clip in the link.

All these fecking clips would drive you mad.

There are also 16 of the number 20 that clip the lower skirt tight to the actual sill aswell just below where the doors shut. If need be I can go and take photo's of the holes and the clips I removed.

Do you have any of the number 20 clip for your kit?

I'm going to be fitting more door tech 2 in the near furture and I'm not looking forward to it, did you get the drilling template from BMW?

when i did this on my is i just took my time and measured and marked it up and it looked factory in the end! took me a full day though!
