Default How to fit side skirts on an ra

Just got some oe side skirts but not sure how to fit as the ra does not come with them as standard so i presume there will be no holes etc. Anyone fitted some to an ra? what about bonding on with Tiger sealer etc.

You can either drill your own holes & get some fittings from the main dealers.
This consist of male & female type clips, about 10 per side.
The plastic clips (male) slide into the side skirt. This should give you some adjustment from side to side. But you will have to get the height position of the holes drilled in the sills correct.
Bonding is another option but more permanent.

Fitted mine to the underside of the sills with about 6 screws and washers per side and bonded them along the top. Holds in place very well, and doesn't leave much mess behind should you decide to take them off again - just taken mine off to be colour coded

I like the clean unspoilt look of the ra range,I,m a bit of a type ra purist

Makes them stand out from the rest of the range.
