Got round to fitting the side skirts yesterday. Well, one side lol
Didnt have them as standard, so no studs for the white clips. Just tiger seal them on i thought. Not enough surface for the sealant to adhere to. Had to figure out a way to fit the clips in the right place!
Cue me doing my usual measure 20 thousand times, various methods to check etc etc lol
Once i was happy i could drill holes in my nice fresh paint work!!
I will post a thread in the articles section with all my measurements. Hopefully it will make it easier for some of you.
Pics.... (off my phone. Didnt anticipate getting this far so didnt have my camera with me!)
Various scribble marks...
Measured and repeated along the sill...
First one on..
Done!
And fitted! G clamp is to hold the upper part of the fin. Had to tiger seal this part. lol @ my colour coded plate!!!
Pointless update lol
Was super clean for Billing and side skirts all fitted...but as you all know that didnt happen. So a few of us went for a blast his morning. I got abit snapper happy!!

Not a great deal to update, but after watching back my on track videos from Castle Combe, i thought a decent camcorder mount is in order. So....lol i got creative!!!
Also, emailed Retro Cars about a feature. It got featured....but not how i imagined!! lol
And that brings us up to date!!!
Will have to remeber to update this now!! Although, i very much doubt there will be much to update. Well, not untill september time when she comes off te road
