If anyone has a guide for fitting the kit then i could use a copy aswell.

I think if there is one out there then it should probably be made a Sticky as i'm sure there's plenty demand for it.

I believe there are templates that you can still buy from BMW that stick to the car and you drill accordingly. You can see them on realoem

I can get to this

but it doesn't give you any guide's there. Just lists part numbers.

If you go to your dealership and ask some parts have fitting instructions, be nice and they might print them off. I'm collecting some parts on friday I shall ask.

lads pm me a email address and ill try and send the original bmw instructions (in pdf format) you can buy the template but its about £20 to. but then chuck it after use ...i fitted mine without it just make sure you buy all the correct clips its not as hard as you think i used one of the clips with the 2 pins removed as a guide for the drill and lined the sill up and marked it it dont have to be perfect as there is a bit of leeway on the sill for the clip to move

I am now half way through fitting the side skirts and pods but have had to stop as BMW sent me the wrong clips

. I have been taking pics through doing it so will make a thread on how to do it when im finished as I found it hard to get infomation on this topic.

dont they just clip into the holes where the original rubbing strips go down the car, and clip on at the bottom.

I want to know how easy is it to take it off with out mashing it up, plus once taking off is it best to buy all new fixings to go back on or just some certain bits?

Post Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:17 pm

the PDF for fitting the side pods (infact the whole kit) is mentioned and linked to at the beginning of mrlees front and rear fitting guide on the zone wiki.

http://rapidshare.com/files/147753716/M ... g.pdf.html

or copy and paste that into a new browser window and wait 45 secs.

I hope this helps you all and thanks mrlee for the info and great wiki article.

once i pull the tech 2 kit off of my sport (to send to the paint shop) i will update this wiki article to include the side pods.
