how hard exactly are they to fit?
one of the next things on my list is to get a set of sideskirts for my car and i was thinking either a GSi bumper and skirts or steinmetz skirts?
but can they be sprayed then DIY fitted or is it a bodyshop job?

Aye, bumpers go on easy enough. No clips for the sideskirts tho, they have to be glued on, using tigerseal.

If you are asking how to fit the bumper, get somone else to do it.
Steinmets skirts glue on.

ill try to be more clear.
is fiiting a GSi bumper a straight swap or is there modification involved?
when fitting Gsi skirts do you glue them or is there clips of some sort?
as for steiny skirts am i right in saying they are glued on?
and are they DIY'able?
obviously swapping a bumper is easy (if its a straight swap) but drilling and putting clips in and getting straight isnt...
i dont like the way they dont look low enough with no skirts

well that answers it then.
bumper... easy
skirts not so easy.... i wouldve more than likely got it done when they got sprayed but if its easy to do then it saves a lil cash
