you shouldnt need tiger seal to put the skirts on, just get the proper clips from vauxhall, i bought EVERYTHING to put my GSI skirts on my corsa and then marked it up pop rivited it on and they're fine, and for the arches just hold them up and mark them and cut them down, but bear in mind always cut them little bit longer as you can always trim them down to fit tighter, but cant add any on if you'v cut them to short.

just use the clips mate,
i did mine diff, what i did was put the clips on the skirts and 1 by 1 startin with e L peice was use self tapping screw, and a small fine screwdriver, score the spot and push the screwdriver thru, and then screwd the self tapping screw threw and it workd a treat, but rivets are just as good.

you can still get the propper GM rivits for not much money which are better than ordinary rivits as they have a special head on them for the clip to slot into.

I got quoted about 50+ quid from a Vauxhall parts specialist for everything needed to fit GSi skirts?
Probably a lot less hassle just fitting replicas tbh..

yea for the whole kit and its worth the money honestly!! iv pulled my skirts off today and cleaned the muck out from behind them and clipped them back on in about 10 minutes, if you'v screwed and tiger sealed them on how are you expecting to clean behind them to stop the car from rotting out??
