If I was you I really wouldn't bother, especially if the body work is sound!

If you really want to its a case of sourcing the parts, try to get a kit that has all the studs attached if you can! The arches bolt on through the wings/rear quarters, the front and rear aprons are riveted under the bumper and the skirts /rear spoiler are fitted using threaded studs that push into special plastic sockets inserted into the bodywork. In other words a shit load of holes (carefully measured) need drilling. Remember to treat the drilled holes to prevent rust.

Or you could bodge (stick) them on with tigerseal
