question on the side skirts

Hey m-tech people. When you were putting your side skirts on, did you put the rear part on first and then the front. My skirts seem to be about 1/2 short so the passenger side does not want to wrap around the wheel well in the rear. I want to drill a hole so I can put the little push pin holders in; the black ones, but can't get the skirt in position?:)
Any help would be great,

jm- the side skirts should be a semi-tight fit. Like you saw on the pic I posted. Are you sure you don't have vert side skirts ?

vert skirts have the lip along the door. if you really have vert skirts jm cha ching.

EDIT Detail on a vert side skirt - note the lip over the rocker trim

Mine didn't have the side skirts when I bought the car and I never really thought I needed them until recently now I'm on the hunt for some..They look a little "naked" without them lol 8) ;D

Thanks man! :D The link to my thread is in my sig, take a look :D

I have a "toad" alarm (not sure if you guys have these in the states?) which I will be fitting soon but want to somehow integrate it into that alarm too..I work at BMW so I could always look in the spares to find what I need to do this so watch this space 8)

ok, mine says on the inside Metzeler 2910 C- 686
Sad to say the po sanded off the numbers on the end so I can not read them anymore:(.
I think I just need to put the rear part on first and then the front....well the funny part is my wife was helping me and she said, " Don't you want to put the back on first." On the driver side we did a check fit and sure enough the back has to go on first....at least on my car.

Ok- I can check tmrw on the inside number. There is a slight gap on the side which where that weird side clip is- that what I was mentioning. I will take pic tmrw also.
