putting aftermarket side skirt on

Post by fto12345 »

Hello guys,
Any help here would be much much appreciated.

I bought some side skirts some time ago. A velside side skirts.
And when I tried to put them on they don't fit properly.

When I put the side skirt next to the car after taking off the originals the font bit and the rear bit has this big gap that I couldn't get it to go away no matter what I do.

All I can think of at the moment is the heat job to mould it to the shape properly.
But not sure how to do this either.

Well I hope some one could help me out here.
And steven, would you be able find out form UAS as I believe the side skirts are from them.

Thank you,

Most fibreglass kits require some "adjustment" to fit, thats why panel beaters don't do it for free. I'd take it to one, it's worth the few extra dollars to get it fitted properly

Well just thinking if panel beaters can do it them I can also.
Just don't know what kind of things you need to do...that's all.

So if some one knows or has any idea please let me know and I'll try and figure it out.

Thank you,
