Has anybody put these on their coupe? If so, how easy are they to fit?

I know Autods are good but I don't think they do this style. I was wondering if this make were good.

My concern would be.... On the image of the yellow coupe the skirts look really good, the lines and intake look subtle and fit the lines of the coupe without looking too boring.

However, in the actual shots of the skirts further down the page they look Nothing like the ones pictured on the car they look really harsh and have different lines and are far less subtle

Never seen these before, the seller seems to have a good rating. For £70 might be worth a go. Personally i'd always shop with AutoDS, there parts are fantastic quality and there service is second to none.

There's only one way to find out and that's to give them a try. I like the fact that they are plastic rather than fiberglass and the styling is different to anything currently available from Auto DS.

Go on, be different and try them, be sure to post up some pictures.

"Go on, be different"

I think thats the word. I don't like following like a sheep.

Will post when fitted.

ha, ha, must admit I don't usually follow the trend but I do love the Le kit on the coupe and Auto Ds who make a copy of the Le style are tried and tested. Good for you on trying a different style, hope they look good once fitted, as there is a difference between the pics off the car and the ones on it.

Iv`e just fitted zender skirts to mine and fitting is quite easy with the zender skirts they have 2 attacements for the underneth to grip onto the bottem of the sill.
jack up the rear , remove the wheel putt the sill into place if the under supports are attached and support with a jack.
drill into the ends of the origanol sills and insert 2 rivets per side dont rivet yet just hold in place with them for now.
when alighned take rivets out then pipe your origonal sills with Evo stik serious stuff wet grab ( from B&Q )
both sides and along the whole front of it where it meets at the top.
rivet the 2 holes at each end and press on the side and slide up or down adjust the jack to support.
allow 2-3 hours to set it ( needs a full 24 hours to go off fully )
next day trim off ant exess bond and then apply a small amount of grab and smooth of with your finger.
allow to dry and then mask off and spray the area of evo stick.
first sill took me 3 hours and the next took 1.5 hours excluding drying time.
hope this helps.
