I was just wondering if the illuminted kick plates that are for sale in the fto shop fit onto an fto, with VS side skirts fitted? Mayb im mistaken but it looks like my standard black kickplates have been stuck down onto the side skirts???

sorry if this has already been covered but i couldnt find it anywhere no mater how i searched

Hmm...

I'm not sure about the veilside skirts, but looking at mine, the kick plates sit on top of the stock ones. When installing them i don't think you remove the stock ones, you just put them on top.

Going by the above, they should fit, because your standard kickplates fit.

I hope this helps, any other ppl out there with kick plates?

oh ok, i thought u had to take the stock ones out first

so how do u affix the other ones over the stock ones, what i mean is whats stoppin them from just lifting off?

I think there are screws on the inside that affix the kick plates, from memory these screws also affix the standard kick plates.

As i don't get my car back till this afternoon i can't go in too much detail, if no one adds more info, i will have a look for you this afternoon.

Mine are affixed over the standard ones with tape I think. There is no sign of any screws.

The standard kick panels r held in place using clips. You can just pull em off.

The kick panels are held by clips onto your car's body.
Your side skirts don't come up that high..
It's the actual car's body that the kick panels are held on...
And the illuminsted ones are stuck on with a double sided tape.

So all you do is just pull up the original kick panel and stick your illuminateing one and put the kick panels back on.
The only thing you need to worry about are the wires that comes out from the illuminating panel. Once you have the kick panel off you should see a long white clips that hold the carpet up to the car's body. Just pull this clip, put all the wires under and put the clips back on and your kick panels back on as well....ofcourse this is provided you have already connected it...that way it'll look neat!

Cheers,
