Aero side skirt question/problem

[fozworth]

Ive just got some second hand aero side skirts and all is fine except they are missing the long plastic sill mounting brackets that sort of extend the part of the skirt that goes under the car and fixes to the sill.these are not available seperatly from bmw.The actual skirts with out these sill mounting brackets/extensions curve under the car about 3" and there for i thought maybe i could silicone /bond the sideskirt to the sill as its a flat surface they sit on and the clips and double sided tape on the top side should more than hold it in place.From what i can see the extra strip thats missing that runs the lenght of the sill is basicaly there to stop crap going behind the skirt .I could perhaps cut a lenght of the old cooper s skirt and pop rivet that to the aero skirt to extend it and then self tap screw it to the sill.As this is all under neith and out of eye shot hopfuly it would be ok.
any other idears?

you could have got a pig in a poke i dont think you can get them seperately best of luck

Thats what i was saying ,bmw dont sell them seperatly,but i think they curve under the car enough to sit on the sill and just be bonded or as i said i could possibly cut and fabricat the extra extension from my old cooper s sills when i remove them,does that sound feesable.

the road spray will be everwhere inside the car i think just make sure you have plent clips to put your original ones

Can you not get in touch with the person you got them off and ask were them bits are?? stupid question i no but mite be worth it, if not then id try an make somethin up like you said and get them on there as you've bought them now!!

if they stay on the car and you cant tell then a good job done!

He hasnt got them ,as i asked also ive not payed yet as im still worried about the fixing issue.I realy need to see a car with aero skits to understand the shape of the part missing.probably go to bmw tomorrow.

i had the EXACT same problem. Trust me, no one has the sill fixing available...i tried mini and every breakers in the uk.....in the end had them shipped over from america! If i was to do it again, id not buy them and get a propper set. It took me 6 months to track them down in america for the uk! dont bodge it either...it wont work.

ok thanks ,when you got them from the states were they new or do those guys not sell the strips seperatly new either and did you find used ones.
