Yeah, they come through as a mixture I found, I buoght some from a couple of dealers, one dealer could only source 2, they came in a bag witht the same finis code, but were different clips

I bought LOADS and everything Doo listed above, comes to a few quid lol, was thinking of seling what I have but reckon I'll just keep em for a while

TBH, they dont need replacing, unless you break them, I only broke 3..

kinda...

Heres a quick pm I sent to someone asking me how to remove it all....


It is a little tricky but if you take yer time it is defo worth it IMO especially as yours is currently so tidy.. there are 2 rivets at each end, these need drilling out dead easy witht wheels off.

underneathe there are some self tapping torx head bolts again these will come out dead easy

take the front sections (bottom of wing) off first what you have to do is kinda look up from below use a long but wide screw driver and pop the little white clips striaght out the body, basically they pop in the body and are clipped to the kit, if you do it right again its dead easy. once you got that off you can see exaxctly how it fixes, then take the 10mm bolt out at the front of each of the side skirts then do the same witht hte screwdriver unclipping them.. without any problems I reckon you could do the whole kit in an hour once car in air with wheels off...

Pop down yer ford dealer see it you can get some clips (as per my pics) just incase you do break any (I broke 3)

they will also be able to print you out a pic from microcat showing how it all goes together

HTH

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 6 front ones and the 2 rear ones? I have to put my sideskirts back on and I have only front clips. Can I put front clips instead of rear ones? Thanks.

Done this job a couple of months ago too.When refitting the kit, put the clips onto the kit 1st THEN offer up the kit towards the holes.Makes the job so much easier, tap the kit to pop the head of the clip into the hole.

Tip. Whilst the kit is off you can use the clip holes to spray waxoyl into the sills.

Yes I got the body kit back on. I had no problems using front clips instead of rear ones. I proceeded the same way A.Moore explained and everything went fine.

When you put the bodykit back on was it easy to line it up so it sits as it did originally? just a bit concerned if I take mine off it won't go back properly.

I was worried at first but it does go back on fine.Don't force anything and line everthing up first!

Here's mine before the kit went back on.

Hello mate, I was wondering do you have a pic of the drivers side once its back together as mine has a gap by the rear 1/4 and I'm unsure if it was there before. Thanks

Sorry haven't got pics requested.There should be an even gap between the lower quater panel and kit if that is what you mean?

Tandy, there was some surface rust along the lip at the very bottom, but that's all really i just repainted that.When you take them off the sills were dirty that's all.

From DOO's list above,

You will defo need 8 rivets to do both sides
Mightaswel grab some expansion nuts (plastic clip things)
Dont HAVE to replace the screws which screw up from below
nor do you have to replace the plastic inserts which the side clips slot into but might be worth it

If you shoot to ford with the finis list above, the images on screen show how many items you need, OR keep an eye out on ebay, there is a guy on there selling complete "kits"..

Now that this thread is back on top --> could anybody please confirm if these numbers are the only thing you need and how many of each you need if you want to replace EVERYTHING with new.

It's abit strange because I also have 6200979 & 1662747 laying about here which I've got no idea what to use them for.

Also, my Microcat version shows the following parts needed

6649922
6005047
1471000
1667247

All of them which I can't find in the list shown by DOO.

Damned, that's odd as that would mean that I've got 10 rear clips and no front ones.

Anybody more care to enlighten me please?
