Ive just recvived some lumma gtc side skirt for a corsab and taken them to the bodyshop . But when me and the guy at the bodyshop offered them up to the car they just dont to seem to fit right . I understand that some sideskirts take a bit of fitting , but the guy at the bodyshop is very experianced . Iam not sure if there is a problem with the skirts or if i have some parts missing . To me the top lip does not seem to be right size and so it woulnt line up right with the arches .
So i was just wonder if ppl with lumma gtc side skirts . Could maybe tell me how u fitted them or if u had any real probs fiting em . Also did u get any brackets ???
Any help would much apricated as the shop i got them from dont think that there is a problem with them . I can see me losing £200 or paying for a lot or carraige 
Thank You

Well main prob with mine is that the top edge is too small (edge that ues to bond it to the car). So could u take a pic of top edge or tell me how thick it is . Beacues on my set the top has a cut out for the rear plastic arch , but does not hav a cut out for the front arch . And if u cut the arch way it will hang past the skirt . Also With archs taken off , when u hold my set agains the car with the bonding edge flat to the car the skirts dont hang striaght down the seem to hang more under car , like a 45 angle that at 90 angle to the car . Wich leads me to belive my sets top edge has had too much cut off or is not the right size.
Any help much apricated thx

bodyshop fitted my skirts but dont think that they had any problem at all, are they the origonal lumma ones or an after market copy of them?

They are the propper 1s coz they come with stickers . The guy at bodyshop said the skirts would not be imposible to fit , but if he fits them they will look shit and take a load of work .
Only thing i could ask is how big is the top egde of the skirts u hav . Does it line up with the archs ok ??? and did the skirts go over the archs or did the arch cut away???
Iam sending mine back . But the shop said if they think the skirts will fit ok . Then the skirts will be sent back to me and ill be charged for the p&p So i just want to make sure i got all my facts right . Befor i ring them back 
thx for help

humm i dont know what to think now . Iam not sure if there are right or not . TBH i thought getting the lumma skirts (£200) over some cheaper 1s . They would be a good fit . Icy where u going to cut way ur arch then or cut away the skirt ??
thx for help
