Fitting Aero Side Skirts

[chester2000]

Am thinking of buying a 2nd hand set of these:

Are they easy to fit or will i need to ask my local garage / bodyshop to do it ?

thanks

Difficult to answer as it depends on your skill set. I have seen the how-to posts on this forum for it and it looks easy to me.

Easy... so easy I did it.

I've got the pictures somewhere, but there's a how-to on here also.

basically there's a kind of "suicide" clip that you need - so you'll need to pull all these out the existing skirts then buy new ones for the aeros.

Expect an hour one side, then 30mins the other.

In that case, I suggest you start with the other side first as that is shorter

Sorry - will get my coat ....

LOL...I may give to my local garage then !!

So do i need to replace the clips then ?.....anyone have the part numbers ?

thanks

Easy to do yourself as long as you have a full compliment of hands! No need to replace any clips, or rubber seals, just remove these carefully from the old ones. I fitted mine with a willing assistant equally naive to the process in little more than an hour.
