You will need for this mod – some sideskirts (obviously), here we are fitting S-Mann skirts to a MK7 For2, some Tiger Seal (eBay or alike) or equivalent adhesive for bodystyling kits, some masking tape, screws for attaching to the car.

First clean the existing sideskirt on the car so that its clean from crap and other dirt.

Jack up one side of the car and both wheels, this is because as well as the adhesive the skirts are screwed in place at the ends, you can do this with the wheels on, it just makes it a lot easier to take them off as it gives you more room to work.

Attach any mesh inside (if available) with the tiger seal or anything else. Apply a generous bead of tiger seal on the upper lip and side edges (lower edge will not actually attach). Be careful when applying this as we really don’t want the stuff oozing out when attached.

Taking your tigered skirt, press and hold firmly onto the car whilst someone screws in any screws – we used self tappers here. Once in place, work along the edge use masking tape to really press and hold the skirt in place. repeat for other side, reattach wheels (if removed) Leave to set for over 24hrs.

Carefully peel off the masking tape and the protective film from the skirts

Tidy up any unsightly edges of tigerseal with a sharp knife and step back to admire the job (then realise the rest of the car is really dirty in comparison).

Nice.
