depends m8 do u want to blend them into the bodywork so that u cant see the joins or just put them on
???
???
measure your waist and go to primark mate...
on a more serious note...
do you want it to look good?
if not, a big bad of self tappers'll do it
otherwise you can use stikaflex/ tigerseal. what skirts do you have? standard ones will bolt on fine and will hold fine. The glue only holds the edges in, not holding any weight. A couple of self tappers on the ends don't do any harm either.
EDIT: read post properly - there's a how to in the Max Power Haynes manual...

Depends what type they are but usually just a few well hidden self tappers and some sikaflex/Tetrosyl PU7/Tigerseal are all thts needed, to keep it neat to teh surface i recommend doing one at a time and parking a couple fot from a wall, getting some off cuts of wood the correct length and jamming them against the side of teh skirt between a think coiled rag near where it seals to close the gap and make it less obvious. Thats only for poor fitting/warped ones though, as decent ones should be a perfect fit

I'd rather go to TK MAX honestly, have you no pride?
Good start, sounds a bit like, cut to fit, glue on, self tap where it ain't working, lotsa filler?
Am I close?

Thankee, got a feeling mine are the poor fitting and warped (beam me up Scottie) variety, I'll look in daylight and when I'm sober (always a mistake!).A&R Jordan said:

oh no
if they dont come perfectly smooth dnt use tehm, they'll never look right. get them painted proper too. If u want ehm to look any good and you want tehm smooth to the car, attach tehm yourself, take it to a bodyshop (you can primer it) and get them to filler it into your bodywork and spray teh paint into your own to match itJordan

Why are you in Cumbria? Can't you move and respray my car?
I've finished the mechanical mods and am allowing my mid to freewheel a bit....
I like the back, colour coded bumper (well nearly) and no bumber strip and no exhaust pipe sticking out, think all I want to do is colour code the bit above the n/plate. I want sideskirts to announce it is 'different' but the fornt hmmmm....bonnet? bumper? Can't stand the Fiat badge.
Also considered going for Grafiti lettering on the side (remove bump strips) large and wtf would be the letters. Gonna let my mind bounce a bit.

Lol no, Cumbria's the nicest place in the whole of... the north Why would i ever move!Smooth bonnets are a good mod, bad-boys etc look good too, but with proper preparation and attention to detail in other area such as C/C other things, otherwise they look outa place.
