Clipper kit fitting

hey guys just bought a cab gli.    it has had a respray and old owner fitted small bumpers and small plastic arch trim. i removed these today and trailed fitted my clipper kit as thought wud be best before i get it sprayed. i have screwed the arches in at the top of arch and look good but was wondering if there is somesort of kit to fit inbetween arches/side skirts and body. searched forum but cant find anything concrete. Thanks alot Dave

Dave,
get some pics up so we can see what you got so far.
The kit usually consists of front and rear arches and side sill covers.
These are screwed in to plastic fittings that correspond to the shape of the holes.
The arches are also riveted into the bumper section too.
There is a gasket that fits partially around the arches and a strip that goes behind the cill cover.
Have you got the necessary plastic fittings to fit the kit on with?

Interesting post as I am due to do this myself at the weekend....god help me! With regards plastic fittings...I have the sill clips that I bought off Crazy quiffs, have bought a load of pop rivets........have some good foam that is sticky on one side that I was going to use as my seals between bodykit and bodywork........anything else that I need chortle that I can get delivered by Sat?

Its the plastic fittings that worry me.....all I have currently is holes in the metal work :-(

Hi Fella,
what have you got missing?
I can point you in the right direction for a body seal kit if you like.
I got one for DEK on here.
It's sillicone and not plastic, in black.
Pm me what you need and I will see what I have got in my bookmarks to link you too.
A lot is in the USA so doubt will be here for Sat, although DEKs stuff only took a week.

you should have a row of clips that have a lip on them for the cill cover to drop onto and underneath there should be some with elongated stud and holes to match those on the kit.
There should be a couple at the front and rear to take the front and rear arches.
I would not advise fitting without the proper fittings.

Hmmmm, now I have the row of clips that the sill cover drops onto…need to ahve a look and see if I still have the matching stud and holes on the sill itself…..will pop over to where I'm keeping it later and have a good luck…..oh it goes on…and on….and on!

hi. i had the small bumperkit and now changing it to a clipper kit. i have attached the arches and the the sill cover and i have the foam gaskets comin from america as i found some on ebay. what i do need now is the clips that hold the sills into place as i originally had a chrome trim there.
Thanks dave
