For the people that have these, what is the fit like on them? I've just taken mine to the bodyshop with my other bits but he isn't too keen on them! Said he's happy to pain them and that but they don't fit too well. The fibreglass has bowed out a bit and it leaves a gap at one end. He said they could be fitted with the sealant but you would be able to see the sealant at one end. To make them fit properly he said I'd be looking at £140ish :dapprove: Has anyone else had this problem or similar? If so what have you done? Thanks. Feel free to post pictures showing the fit aswel.

Thanks Mark. I know the fella at the bodyshop and he's a top bloke, I know he isn't taking the piss. He showed me what he was on about and explained everything and it all made perfect sense. The £140 was to make them fit perfectly, it involved fibreglassing and that, he explained it fully to me the way which, in his opinion, was the best way to do it, but I can't remember everything he said. He said he would paint them up perfectly for me at the price previously quoted and give me the sealant to fit them, but he wouldn't be willing/want to just sikaflex them as they are, due to the gap. He said if I was to sikaflex them on, I'd be able to get it fairly neat and with the sealant being black it wouldn't show up too much, but anyone looking at them would be able to see it.
How much were yours middo? Or if you got them on the cheap, any ideas how much from Renault?
Think Has and D4ve have the skirts aswel, any info from them would be appreciated.

which bodyshop you taken them to? i'm in widnes and do bodywork and painting part time myself in my dads mates garage
No worries mate, thanks for that. Certainly making me consider it then. I was all for binning them before. He also suggested I could totally bodge them and it not look too bad! lol, If I was to bond them as normal, with the slight gap at the rear, plenty of sealant to fill the gap and get the sealant as smooth as possible where it's on show and use touch up paint on it so it doesn't stand out. Don't mind as long as it doesn't look totally gash. Suppose at the end of the day, they can be removed and the sealant doesn't do any damage.
lol. Mine were a crate of stella! lol
hi dude what siseskirts have you bought????
