Default Alloy side skirts clips from cdf racing

Has anyone used the side skirts alloy clips from CDF racing? Are they worthy replacements of the OEM plastic ones?

I would appreciate hearing your views about these alloy clips.


Thanks.

Have them on my silver saph, thay are brilliant, I would never reccomend anyone to buy the Ford clips again after using these. Fit really well, once you get the first 1 or 2 on it doesn't take anytime at all to do the rest.

only thing that puts me off is the fact you can see the metal bolts that hold the skirt to the brackets!

but they are 100% better then the o.e ones

The trick with the Ford clips is to double up on them, never had a problem with them snapping after doing that

Can't you just use those little black pop rivets like the ford ones? I've not actually done this it was just an idea?
