This morning on the way home from wrk i went a little quick through a massive puddle and it ripped my sideskirt of (standard GSI 1), the skirt isn't damaged at all, i know they just clip back on but a couple of the small plastic clips have broken.... is there something i can use to bond it back on to make it a bit stronger???

i know the feeling mate, i mate through a puddle and when i got home i realised my read diffuser was hanging off. snapped 2 clips each side of the arches.
try using sikaflex or sommat. thats what you can use to bond bodykit on etc.

This happened to me yesterday aswell! I'm gonna complain to the local council - I pay my tax and what do you get?!?!?
I had to get 4 new clips and the jacking point cover is all smashed and will need spraying. The sideskirt will need re-spraying aswell as some of the paint has come off - may aswell get both sides done!

I'm going to put some bodywork protector where the skirts and aches fit to the metalwork for extra protection against the salty shit on the roads!

Gritted roads aint a bad thing, but they do cause havoc with bodywork!
