Hi everyone, I had been finding the bodykit for my tourer, and finally I found them! The front lip had been put on which is very good, and a pair of side skirts and rear lip, just arrived couple days ago, having look around and try them on to the car, they are all direct fit over the OEM part, they come without any fitting kit, i really need some advice for fitting them, do you think the double side tape for automotive will help or any sort of glue? Your help will be appreciated..
Need help for fitting bodykits

Sal's right - they are to replace the existing skirts not go over the old ones. You need to use self tapping screws or rivets on the ends and maybe some tiger seal or Sikaflex to bond the edge against the bottom sill. The bumper extensions are bonded on.
First of all, merry Christmas to you guys, and thanks for reply, the side skirts is fit over the existing parts I'm afraid, they are aftermaket and the design is totally different from others, I thought they could be sent me the wrong one, but after try them on the car, they just fit straight on the OEM part.... And I know I need some screws to secure on the end, and I think I may need some double side tape as well from inside of the moulding? if so, a good tape recommend will be appreciated..
Having search in eBay the Sikaflex has 221,291,and512, and 221 is the one for bodykit adhensive? And 512 can be very useful for me man thanks...

Ray, When i fitted my skirts i had to remove the old skirts and re use the clips from the original skirts and some tiger seal. You will need to seal the skirts to the underside of the car or they will clank around against the bottom. You will see what i mean when you come to fitting them.
Crespo, thanks for advice this, for fitting this skirts, all I can see is they are the mouldings that just cover the existing side skirts, so not sure if I still need seal the underside edge of these skirts, perhaps using seal provides more firmer and they wont clank is that what you mean? some double side tape in the inside of the bodykit and some screws on the end plus some seal..?
I just can't see why I should bothering removing the existing side skirts for some point....

This is the skirt i have and you definitely need to remove the original skirt.
I believe it is a fibreglass copy of the A Spec (sports kit)

Ray if you look at where the rear of the skirt meets the bottom of the rear wheel arch you will see that it needs to sit flush. If you stick it over the old one, it will stick out. You have to remove the old skirts.
