victorg95 · 04-07-2015, 07:33 PM

Can anyone help me installing the m3 side skirts? I have those little clips but first time I tried the front first clip towards to front wheel never clips and cracked 6 of my clips

The oem clips cracked? Or the replica clips?

The rep clips cracked so I had them send me more, all the others clip it's just for some reason the first one behind the front wheel doesn't and the side skirts sticks out kinda

Where'd you get them? I recently bought a set on ebay and they were warped, even the bodyshop couldn't get them on. Seller ended up refunding me in full without having to ship them back.

I bought a 2nd set from ECS tuning and the report from the bodyshop is that they are much better. Should be painted today/tomorrow, I'll report back with how they look.

Seller was europartsauto store on eBay, they sold me the m3 rear bumper rep and it was 90% fitment, every clip clips in except the front ones

Yup, same place I got my bad ones. I also bought an M-tech rear bumper from them and it fits great, but the skirts are junk. Contact them and ask for a return, I was able to get my money back without even having to ship them back.

Update; got my ECS skirts back from the body shop, I'd say fitment is about 98%. I had to open up the holes on the bottom where the black plastic screws go in, and I found that it was a lot easier to get them to snap in place if you cut the nubs off the ledges that are supposed to keep them centered in the clips.
