Aero Side Skirt Issues?

[Phoenix]

Does anyone know of any issues regarding the fitting of the Aero Side Skirts?

Saw somewhere that one of the holes on the near side needs to be tapped in a few mm's in order that it fits tight?
I can't find the posting but from what I remember it was the first hole after the door.

Are there any other things to look out for or that need preping first in order to get a proper fit?

Cheers

there are a few threads on here about this and the gap that can appear, its all to do with using the correct colour clips to get a close fit

If you have a search then I am sure you will find the threads that tell you what colour to use

Can anybody tell me what exact clips are needed for the Cooper S Aero side skirt.
Can you retin the sill plate?

i have gaps and parts flexing loose on the skirts around the car.

Cheers,

as im aware thers two colours a white one and a orange one and i think the orange one is smaller which in turn will pull the skirt closer to the car when cliped in,

if you use a white 1 in place of the orange 1 the you will end up with a small gap like i have!

so you need to check which clips go were and what clips you have on there then see if thats the case as i think its is for me!

the dealers keeps both types of these clips in stock, because there used on the internal panels also!

i bought a few for my panels when i was repairing something and cost me about 97p for 3 of them!
