Getting a set of aero side skirts and fiiting them myself. Is it easy to take of the cooper s side skirts and fit the aero side skirts? All advice and any instructions welcome. Thanks.

Good fella, good choice- where's the rest of the kit though?!

If you need someone to come round to hold the screwdriver and give helpful advice, you know where I am

Plenty have done this, so reckon help and advice should be forthcoming

fitting these is a nice simple job

here are the offical instructions for you to take a look at: http://motoringfile.com/howto/Aerodynamic%20Bodykit.PDF

Tips for fitting, make sure that you have all the new clips to attach the skirts as a lot of the ones on the standard skirts are designed to break when you take them off.
Fit the grills on the skirts before you attempt to fit them to the car

Other than that there isn't much to worry about, but have a read of the guide and then post up any questions, as there are lots of us that have fitted these so plenty of people to help you

Thought I would get these for now and the rest will come later. I already have you penciled in for helping, you're too kind!
