Ok, having almost zero experience of fitting/painting bodykits, I need to know how to fit my Veilside sideskirts. Is it a kinda 'first fix' system of offering them up, cutting for a good fit, then removing, painting and re-fitting? Or are they fitted/filled and painted in situe?

many thanks,

Charlie.

personally, i would trial fit them (offer them up) and see where they may need shaving/cutting etc to fit spot on...i would then fit them on the car properly and then get them painted as they can be tricky to fit once painted and you would not want to have them painted again!....plus it would be easier to get a better colour match.

Sorry to disagree , Paul E's only need a very slight trimming around the front wheel arch bit , prime em and paint em off the car , i can take mine off in 5 mins a side they should fit that well !!!

 

Dude :complain:

Thanks Dude :respekt:

 

they should be a really quick check fitting and then painting mate

 

Sometime you get really thick sprayed on fibreglass (especially under the door and under the sill - where they have to be bent out slightly to clip in) and then you have problems - sign of a cheap make

 

These normally cost more to modify then paying slightly more for those that do fit well the first time (i.e.mine:thanku: )
