[tAngo.]

Might sound dumb but... Can the IS skirts fit on a vert?

Test fitting the whole thing.
NOTE: Make sure you tape both pieces TOGETHER.


NVM, I found this in your how-to thread!

What were you intending to type here?

[bernzpeed]

What are the dimensions of those holes? Wasn't there mention of a template?

3/8

I used the actual side skirt as the template. I used the marker to dot where I should drill a hole.

Double post of awesome. Ty Sir. can we please get a sticky on this thread or get it posted to the DIY Section.

[bernzpeed]

I did it.

Parts you need:

51 71 1 947 059 Cover left (fender)
51 71 1 947 060 Cover right

51 71 1 947 063 Cover left (body)
51 71 1 947 064 Cover right

51 71 1 933 719 Clamping bolt
NOTE: You have to remove the bolt at the bottom of the fender and replace it with a similar but longer screw bolt instead of using this.
Trust me it will work better.

51 71 1 927 439 Plug (You need 2)
51 71 1 938 940 Clamping (You need 10)
51 71 1 932 996 Grommets (you need 12)
51 11 1 942 789 Rivet (you need 4)
51 71 1 959 929 Clamps (You need 12)

The whole thing will cost you about $200 including gas money to go to the dealership and lunch.

Thank you to www.bmwconcordparts.com for all the parts.

subscribed. I would like a template or visual guide for this as well. I'm not entirely sure I know where all the hardware goes.

I did pretty much what stephen said. Only drilled one hole and held up the rest of the skirt with the clips and double sided tape. Hasn't even budged.
