Does anyone have the Maxton sideskirts?

[Jaco2k]

...can you post some pics?

Thinking of getting these but the pics they have on the site are not the best and also they have two types - not clear what the differences in fitting are.

Thanks - about the fitting, do they only go in one way or can you kinda tweak how much they stick out?
Is it just a matter of using self-tapping screws of did you glue?

I would be interested in some photos from the underside, along with vertical from top to see how much they stick out - near wheels would do.

OK I will take some pics and load them up later.

Had them fitted by body shop along with the front splitter from what I can see its self tappers and glue which holds them in place fine.

I have fitted my front splitter and rear diffuser. Plan to do the same with the skirts

I’ve just got mine this week. Waiting to fit them this weekend. I already have the maxton spoiler cap on and Rieger Front splitter.

I’ve ordered the pre facelift ones too for mine even though I have a 300. I think they look slightly bigger.

Please make some photos when you install them - if you can document the process, even better

Would there be any issue fitting these to a lease car? Can they be easily removed?

If you just screw them, easy to remove.
...with glue, bit harder but not impossible.
I assume it would involve a lot of patience and a heat gun

BTW, off-topic, but I did not glue my splitter - just used the provided self-tapping screws and to test the fit, I hanged myself from the splitter while under the car and it did not move the slightest bit.
Won't say it will never leave, but I am pretty sure the bumper would be torn first

Car is dirty as she has just come back from a track day.

Thanks for the pics - that looks ok, I think.
Maybe I would like to have them stick out a tad less.

As you can see from the underside pics there is room to go in or out

And you will have to adapt mud flaps (i took mine off and never got round to making them fit) if you have them

Did you put much glue on mate ?

Read up - he said he had a shop install it.

I only know there is glue because he told me he did that, its not obvious so its only a small bit in my opinion.

From what I understand from reading, if you want to be 100% sure it stays there, you have to glue it. The glue is a special glue and kinda melts the plastic like is it is soldered.
It for sure won't come out - if you just screw it or just glue it, the glued option is more sturdy.

 

[Jaco2k]

The only thing better than glued is bolted, but that needs access to the inside to get the bolt in
...might work on a splitter, if you remove the bumper to put the bolts on the inside.
