Has anybody fitted these?

Cheers

Really? Don't they cost about £200?!?
I thought all that cdf stuff was supposed to be really well made? The skirt clips that i bought years ago before msd sold their stuff were good
What exactly is wrong with them?

They are just wrong. Stupidly over engineered, the bumper sits at the wrong height, they cause the bumper to ripple where it rivits in.... They are just shit lol.
The pressed steel ones you find on eBay for £40 odd are far better.

The knob that slides in the wing sits to high so I've had the holes welded and drilled new ones in the correct position
Here's my technical drawing for the correct position of the hole

The side skirt clips I bought off cdf were shit as well.
Over half of them didn't have a thread tapped into the opposite sides for the grub screws.
I had to go through them all and re thread them.......not something I expected to do after spending £100
