How to fix transit custom m sport side skirts ?

Postby Decks66 » Sat Sep 16, 2017 7:43 pm

Hello I wonder if anyone can help me I have managed to get hold of some m sport side skirts and I no you have to bond the top edge to the cill but was just wondering if on proper m sports there are brackets as well to help support them ?
Does anyone have a picture of the under side of the skirts fitted ?

Cheers Paul

Are they stolen? :P

I have sport skirts on mine and I bought the plastic clips that hold the bottom on, £70 I bet you any money they'll be the same application on the m sport.

Double check tho :?

For the top I used 3m prep pads they are wipes that get the paint sticky but I forget the technical name, I bought cheap double sided tape about 8-10mm wide from the cheap shop and I bought black pu18 sealant. For the top side of the skirts and arches etc on my custom sport.

i used master seal or tiger seal on my spoilers... black pu stuff. loads of similar products about. Once cured its flexible which is pretty important on a vehicle... and really sticks well.

smells good too. :lol:

Hello thanks very much for the info I really appreciate it

I think i will order that fixing kit tomorrow has anyone got any pictures of it in use on the under side of the side skirts ?

it would be great if any one with a m sport could take a picture of the underside of the side skirts and post it

I got them off the net they have nt been pinched off a van because they are brand new with no signs of any fixings on them or I wouldn't have bought them

I was originally going to buy an transit custom m sport ex demonstrator from Hartwell ford put the deposit down and after 6 weeks it still wasn't sorted the service was shocking so got my money back and bought a normal one from my local ford dealer

I only asked if they were stolen because it seems that is the only way we can think of to get the kit separately :lol:

I'd find out before ordering those clips because they fit directly to the bottom of the skirts and then to the sill of the van, if the m sport skirts are lower then I think the clips will be longer, you could modify them I guess but at nearly 70 pounds I don't think you want to be messing about on top of spending :-(

Hopefully someone with an m sport will be able to help with pictures :-)
