glad to hear ya annoying loud car wannabes!!! lol:yes

yeah i am hopefully gonna try and get down to the mascrat meet next monday so may see ya round then, i doubt very much i will be in my car coz am gonna have a go at the skirts over this weekend so will prob end up takin a month!! lol

right now the update:

i spoke to a respectable bodyshop and they told me to use tiger seal, they use it to attach their bodykits and swear by it,  i managed to get some today so will be tackling this at the weekend, any ideas on best way to prep for this stuff, obvioulsy rub down both areas and have them clean but anything else to help me?

also i sprayed 2 areas on each side of the car black so that the red of the body will not be visible through the vents, manged it last night in the freezing cold with gale force winds, just glad it does not have to be spot on really coz i know it was a rush job coz it started rainin:Hammer i know i know the 3 fundamental rules of painting were not in force!!:rollin  lol

will post pics of progress tomoz:p

tiger bond is ok stuff sikaflex 255 (there is lots of difrent types) is best ive ever used.
once s/s is prepd mask of the area the s/s will be bonded to on the car and rub paint with emery cloth to get a key. clean the bit you just rubbed with pannel wipe and the s/s ,  put windscreen primer on both s/s and bit on car, once its dry bond it on. dont leav it to late as the primer goes off fast.
stick a couple of self tapping bolts threw botom of sill if theres a reces for the jacking point on side skirt do it here.
 
ive put probly 100 side skirts on this way and even after crashing thats the only bit left on,
