Fitting wings west side skirts 4th Gen

Post by **vanzep** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:08 pm

Has anyone got a set of these fitted to a 4th gen

Looking for pics and tips on fitting them.
I have a set painted and ready to go on the car - ive trial fitted them to a set of OEM covers and also trial fitted them on the car but fitment isnt as good as i was hoping for - hence request for pics etc

whats wrong with your fitment they are just screwed either end and glued/taped to the original skirts at the door sill

hi as above i have a pair of sideskirts for mine when i offered them up it looks like they just need some bonding or bodytape and maybe some screws

well i bonded them to an oem cover with sikaflex and then fitted them and there is a one inch gap where the skirt meets the sill at the bottom of the door at the lock side - i know there is a small cut out at the bottom hinge side of the door.
Oh well i will have to take the skirt back off and try fitting it again

normally the wings west stuff is easy to fit like the rear lip which is held on by a small bit of tape and 1 screw at the corners.
i must have over complicated things again

Not quite the same, but when I fitted my Hiro sides to my green lude, I put the oem ones on the car first, THEN stick the aftermarket ones on over the top so they can be aligned properly

thats the way it needs to be done ^^^^^ the stepped lip on the skirt sticks to the body of the car.

cheers for the info

3m double sided bodywork tape is on its way to me - will have another go when it arrives
If i dont like them then i will just swap back over the euro bubbles
(it was only due to the drivers euro side skirt coming loose and rubbing on the underside of the door that made me look at swapping them over)

you will prefer the Euro skirts

yeah the euro sides are easier to fit and remove imo just thought the ww sides would go better with the ww rear lip
both go with the spoon front lip
will try and post up a few pics of both fitted and then decide:)

i like the ww sides but they are quite low at the front
