hey, i have just got some gsi skirts along with the front bumper. they are getting sprayed at the moment, i want to fit them as soon as i get them back however i dont know how to fit the skirts, i understand i need to get vauxhall clips for the skirts and something like tiger seal.
1) where can i get the clips from online?
2) can someone help me with a guide on how to fit them once i have the clips?
thank you, josh

Clips arnt needed just bond them on with tiger seal
But if you want clips then you will have to go to vaux

but if the car isnt a gsi to start off with there will be nowhere to put the clips as a standared 3dr doesnt have the same wheel arches or seals that a gsi has and as im finding out its impossible to get gsi body panels!

you are fitting gsi rep skirts right.... just bond them on... if your using gsi origenal parts then bond them but you need to get different arch trims as origenal gsi were shorter than normal 3dr... arches were differen by having little pips to hold the L piece clips on....

Fit straight on then  But if you are gona use the clips then you will have to drill the holes for them etc so bonding them on is much easyer
