Is it possible to fit Corsa GSi skirts to my car without drilling holes or anything permanent like that? Would want to take them off when I sell the car so dont want any holes or anything like that left after they've been taken off.

do the clips damage the paintwork? will fit them with clips if they dont damage the paint
if I was to use tiger seal would that be hard to get rid of when I come to take them off?

no matter what skirts you fit to any corsa
if you want em to stay on you are best to drill holes to attach them and possibly use some strong sealant aswell

Don't sell it  or don't put skirts on... or maybe don't strip it when you sell

can get more back by splitting. prob best part of 1k extra if I sell the parts seperately to the car! Mods dont add hardly any value when they are on the car!
Prob end up tiger sealing them on then at least I can take them off and get rid of the tiger seal when I want to without having to repaint the sides...

I wouldn't get GSi sideskirts, instead get some Steinmetz one's and get them bonded on as they fit like a glove, wouldn't damage for paintwork when taken off and also will hold its value, also easy to sell as everyone wants them new or used

matt - if yer going through the trouble of fitting all the gsi bits, just get skirts done, drilled in. its a clean as feck car yours and its gonna look good, and well looked after. your not gonna have any troubles selling it as a gsi replica as its mint, and its black

I see that but
1. its harder to sell a modified car
2. its not mint or that clean when you see it in the metal
3. would hate someone else driving round in my car when its modified cos I made it, wouldn't care if it was standard!
I'm going to put the two screws in that are behind the jacking point covers and then tiger seal or some other affair to hold them on. Daniel_corsa has done this and his are on nice and firm but can take them off and then get rid of the sealant easy enough when I sell!

yes but if I leave the sideskirts on then that means leaving the front bumper on and the 17s and lowered suspension and exhaust which I can make alot more money off sellnig seperately to the car no one would buy a standard looking corsa with just GSi sideskirts on
