Side skirt clip (correct order?)
Set about sorting my clips and have received a set this morning.
look really good, but as most of mine are missing just want to check I've got them set out correct.
Having done a search on here there's mixed posts about how many of which size goes where.
ref : 1x sml (f) 5x med (m) 2x lrg (r)
ref : 4x sml (f) 1x med (m) 3x leg (r)
I actually have : 3x sml (f) 1x med (m) 4x lrg (r)
No dout the combo I've received is correct but just wondered how others have got on.

Well what a pig the o/s was!!
It had got wood screws and metal collets along with flat head screws holding it in place, only solution take the skirt off completely.
Nearly 2hrs to sort. Managed to find the last bag of rivets I had for the skirt top.

The clip order is from the front: Small on front wing, 3 small on front of long skirt, Middle at the middle of skirt and 4 long at the rear.
I made some new ones. Screw on insted of rivet on.

Are those plastic moulded or 3d printed?
I did look at some on ebay, plastic moulded but for Ł75 the chances are they will break either when fitting or later down the line.
I think the extra for the ones I went with will be worth it in the long run.

All plastic will break in time. There are loads of plastic clip all over the car. These are Polyethlene fairly flexible, even more if warned up. I didnt fancy scewing metal ones onto the sill and breaking the paint, causing rust.
