Each skirt is held on by roughly 8 torx screws with slots where they go so arent hard to fit

The problem there Tim is that because my doesnt have skirts at all it doesnt have the little pins that holds the tabs on! I do have the tabs, I got them with the skirts so thinking of bonding them on? :shrug:

Also started to refurb the brakes, but not you normal refurb I'm taking all the paint off and starting again. There were some large areas where paint was missing and was bare metal. Instead of patching up and making do we agreed that it would be better to take it all off and just start again.

In a really poor condition and this was the best.

Have you planned which weekend for the fitting yet?
Were you using your old roof lining as a backing sheet for spraying the skirts?
