Hi all,
I noticed a few people on here have the Lester Replica GSI skirts from tuning.co.uk.
I've bought a pair myself, and although in theory it should be easy, they're proving an absolute bitch to fit. They screw into the front and rear arches fine, i'm just finding it pretty much impossible to screw them into the sill, and when they're just screwed into the arches, they don't feel very sturdy.
I've thought about bonding them on with tigelseal or something similar, but i think i might just bite the bullet and get someone to do the job properly.
Did anyone on here fit theirs themselves and get the same problem or did you get them done for you?
Thanks in advance.

i've drilled pilot holes in the arches (2 in back arch, 1 in front arch), but the sill is really hard to drill due to the angle i have to try and get the drill at to make the holes. It also doesn't look like i'm going to able to get the screwdriver at the right angle to put the screws in either...
I'm thinking it might be because my skirts are slightly bent out of shape or something because they don't seem to fit particularly well anyway
Does anyone have any more advice?
Many thanks in advance
