I fitted these a couple of weekends ago, followed the instructions etc and was happy with them but then stumbled across a post mentioning them being attached on the underside. There is no mention of it in the manual but do the aeros clip in where the old skirts did on the underside of the car? I looked at this at the time but there didnt seem to be any holes to attach them to, so chucked the expanding screws out

Yes, you are supposed to refit the expanding screws you removed

There should be holes there, but the skirt may need moving slightly to line up properly, a mirror will help you to see properly.
You should also refit the screw at the rear if you haven't already done so.

The expanding screws are very cheap anyway so shouldn't cause you too many difficulties.. As above they are a pain to line up properly...

Um... they shouldn't be a pain to line up at all?
