Has Anyone Fitted The Trd Skirts, & Lips?

[waddy]

Has anyone fitted these themselves? From what I understand the skirts are simply bolted with a bit of bonding tape to keep them against the bodywork.

The front and rear lips require drilling - is this an easy thing (I am fairly competant) - they come with a fitting kit and instructions as I understand?

Any pics fitted would be a good thing too (so I can see what the finished result should look like )

As you say Mark, sideskirts easy, front lip is easy (drill holes) TRD rear lip you have to take the bumper off to fit it, with the TTE rear lip just bolt on :D and yer come with fitting kit + instructions :D

TRD rear lip you have to take the bumper off to fit it

Never mind - needs must and all that. Is it just for access purposes that the bumper has to come off or is there witchcraft type bracketry that has to go on? I thought it was just an extension?

Anyone got any pics of the fittings (I apologise for being a demander of pictures all the time - please feel free to prod me with sticks)

Both access + bracketry (drill) :o but the TTE lip just bolts on to the bottom of your bumper :D no need to take it off :D

[waddy]

Bingo !

That's the one - thanks bernard :D

I am a little worried about fitting it myself and not getting it to fit properly - i bet it can look like a right hash if it's wrong.

I just read on that thread that Bazza paid £400 for fitting

Is it that hard to do?

I never saw Chris's thread before. I am getting the Skirts, front & rear valances and a sports grille for £600. Everything is sprayed (the wrong colour - so i need to get that done) The skirts have been used but are in good condition - the rest is brand spanking new.

I thought I may be able to get it fitted by myself - I don't want to start something that is going to be a complete pig.

£400 was for painting and fitting :)

Remember if fitting the TTE rear skirt to use Sycaflex or some sort of bonded sealer as the two sided tape that comes with it isn't strong enough and the skirt will start to sag in the middle.

I've been buggered about by the seller now - Greed has taken over methinks - Never mind (yes the side skirts were used but the front and rears were not.)

I think I'll be paying Chris S a visit. New ones will be better anyway.

Saving up for Mr P's group buy instead fella?

[waddy]

Thought about it but to be fair have other commitments at the moment - going ice climbing in switzerland for 2 weeks next year so need to save some wonga for that. Plus the fact that the insurance would rocket too - I think I'll wait for the s/c for now. I begrudge paying out at the moment but i was the numpty who didn't protect 4yrs ncb then went ditch diving

Prob just go straight down the sextuplet-turbo route in a few years anyway

Still looking for a zorst, some springs and the skirts and lips in the very near future though

My insurance company don't know! You think I should tell them? :duh:

[aido]

You might as well tell them mate as otherwise if you do need to make a claim they'll have an excuse to back out of it as you haven't given them complete information!
