[Mk2] DIY Guide to Spraying & Fitting Aftermarket Side Skirts

[TUBBY-DEUCE]

Yes, they're an absolute xxxx to fit (from my experience before someone comes along to contradict me) thats mainly why I haven't finished the post yet lol

Dry fit them first, make sure you got a perfect fit and that nothing needs fabricating etc. Mine aren't perfect, the front part doesn't fit flush with the car.

Test fit yours first and see if they're any better. I'll help you out all I can just PM me matey

il have a trial fit at the weekend mate, expect a pm,

PREPARING TO LACQUER

• 13. Go over skirts lightly with 1200 wet & dry until paint has a matt finish (not shiny)
  

This going over the paint with 1200 wet & dry - is this used wet or dry???

That would be wet but looking at your car you have a metalic finish, you dont do any sanding between paint and laqure on metalic paints.
