Thanks Glenn


Kinetic Blue for all the exterior- relative to the 2013/2014 Ford Figos and Ecosports
standard duracoat dark blue for the interior
Camel Yellow for engine bay and tunnel (when seen)

Thanks Mat. I am trying as a one man band

Is still very cleanish Kyle. Rust was very minimal only major rust repair done on the sunroof area. We kinda revised it a little bit.

Thanks Coley. When I did the initial tear down, I didn't mark or label anything, so I'm definitely sure there be quite a bit of shouting and asking for help.




Apologies for reporting later on, but I managed to fit the RHS side skirt and bracket into position with lots of fettling and "french talking"

Excuse my numbering / advance timing system, it’s just so I and you have a reference to go back on.

Prior to the drilling and rivnutting, I tried the velcro hook and loop stuff. Unfortunately it’s too thick for the skirt and fouls the door because of being thick heavy duty stuff. I was sad that it didn’t work and a thinner version may have. Anyway I push forward with the rivet nut option

After this I added foam tape onto various sections of the inside parts of the skirts. basically where the corners make contact on the car body.

26-01. Using dimensions from another post to drill and rivet nut into front sill / wing for bracket and main skirt




27-02. Rivnuts fitted. I’m not sure if the skirt tabs are supposed to align with the bracket or not




28-03. Temporary fasteners on. Going to look for more suitable fastener: allen key flat head auto grade bolts. For some reason the bracket it appears skew on the photo, it was not the case when I was mocking up and the trial fitting




29-04 .Front rivnut fitted. I used the edge of Ford sill decal as a ref.




30-05. Fitting the skirt with small screw by front door.




31-06. Reference marks on front sill




32-07. Middle hole Drilled with reference marks. Used the edge of the door hinges which are aligned




33-08. Rivnut fitted.




34-09. Skirt fitted with center screw.




35-10. Rear door end markings and references – again using ford sill decal edge as ref.




36-11. Applied tape underneath so when drilling through the skirt I get the drill mark.




37-12. Applied rust proofing paint. I also applied paint on the rivnut for extra protection. Ill spray the rivets with Tectyle 506 later when I pull the skirts off for last time fitment. The hole is quite a lot inward and not center because with my set of skirts I need the flats as far in as possible so the doors can clear when opening.




38-13 Rivnut fitted.




39-14. Skirt fitted with rear screw bolt.




40-15 How the front skirt sits. There is slight adjustment on this as the skirt can slide back and forth.




41-16 Gapping and spacing slight inwards on the bottom edge. I can only adjust this one all the support clips have been fitted and skirt bolted in nicely.




I think it’s almost there. Adjustment is very difficult and as you may have noticed some unsightly scratches on the corners…. Well…. Note to self, lay some soft pad / newspaper on floor so when skirt drops it don’t scratch. I did have some bubble wrap down, but it did not save those corners. I’m hoping that comes out with a buff. So Teeeed off with myself on that

42-17 Rust proof paint I’m using as touch-up when drilling through



Lastly for this post, the plan is to perfect the LHS skirt with what I’ve experienced with the right. Once that is complete, it will be left on until vehicle is ready for polishing. The skirts will then come off and together with the sills cleaned and polished. The skirts will finally be permanently fitted and attached with respective bolt fasteners and possibly upgraded supporting clips.

Up until the next update

Cheers and happy spanner swinging.
