Hello
I have tech 1 side skirts for a saloon & looking to fit them to a cabriolet .
I presume the current bottom moulding strip the runs the length of the sill has to come off but is there much else to do as regards cutting/fabrication ?? Easy job ??

From what I've heard, they don't fit - and if made to, wouldn't look great - sorry that's not particularly helpful, hearing 2nd hand off a mate who had exactly the same issue on his cabby

If you want your old name back just drop a PM to Steve or Iain (HartgeH27) should be able to sort it out :thumb:

I had a similar issue, the tech 1 sideskirts from my cab had been replaced by replicas at some point in its life and I managed to source some genuine coupe ones from a friend locally. Nowhere near close to fitting, gave them back to my mate and I've just bought some better fitting reps and waiting on their delivery at the mo. BMP Conversions, if you're curious :)
