Vxl never made a template for fitting the GSi sideskirts as it was done by robots, so ull need to guess or take a template off a geniune GSi.
Black circle type thing is a rivett that holds the skirt onto the sill/bodywork it'll go into a hole where the jacking points are in the sideskirts

Looking through the tis i eventually found it, they call sideskirts sill stone protectors 
anyway, they do make a template, but fuck buying that, ive got that bit sorted now anyway.
Im just lft with this thing
this cant be the rivet u mentioned. although it does fit in this hole as u said
wots it do tho? wots the point?
im gonna be writing a guide once im done which is y i wanna get it perfect and not just say fuck it

exactly it seems so pointless yet vauxhall spent time and effort designing and making it so im not giving up on it.
can people with a gsi tell me if there is anything in the whole in the rear jacking cover

so it goes in the hole, then a rivet goes through it? What rivet etc as ive only got a load of the usual little ones used with the white things. they seemed ok anyway, i wanna use all factory fittings.
think ill just fuck it at this rate seeing as im gonna be smoothin over the jacking covers anyway

i had no problems, also prefer the vx ones as they have that double head on so you can slide the clips on and off

The sideskirts I've got (non-Vauxhall) have several square holes on the reverse as if they're supposed to slot over something on the sill.
