Re: TRC side skirt splitters
There are sitting in the shed, a antisocial rabbit took a dislike to the new splitter and committed harricarri on it, so I’m waiting until I get a new front splitter and I’ll fit the 2 together

TRC side skirt splitters
Ah shite, they are flimsy enough alright. I can’t safely get out at the top of my road half the time... have to go the back way Don’t deal well with sharp inclines if you’re the thing lowered

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
I went for a TRC one this time, if there side skirts are anything to go by it should be better quality. Have you lowered yours already?

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
Ah nice one, the TRC one will match the side skirts perfectly anyways so the rabbit might have done you a favour in a way! Yeah was lowered when I got it thankfully

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
It was quite today so I popped them on. I first removed the flaps and cleaned the area all off.
There was a slight bit of sill lip damage on the P/S underside so I fixed that. The skirt sits against the sill lip so it must be straight!
I removed the grommets on the underside of the sill and ran a ring of sealer around the edges so when the skirt is in place they are still sealed.
I used slightly longer selftappers as the once’s supplied they are a tad short and ran a heavy line of sealer along the skirt before screwing in place.
Before I had fitted the skirt I marked on the flap where it would meet and when the skirt was fitted I cut it out bit by bit to make sure it was ok.
Overall I’m very happy

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
Yes lad those do look very well to be fair, look forward to seeing it with the front splitter too. I think I might be convinced, they’re going on the list!

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
They should come with fixings, I know my front splitter was supplied with M5 stainless screws, nyloc nuts and washers.

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
I took my bumper off, offered the splitter up and started drilling.
Think I've got 6 M5 screws and nyloc nuts holding mine on.

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
I’ve got the TRC front splitter on also. With the van on axle stands, I used 2 trolley jacks to hold the splitter in place (jacked up VERY gently) and once levelled up, began drilling. It worked for me.

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
Great stuff I’ll do the same , for the side skirts does anyone recommend using a rubber washer on screws as the will probably rust ?

Re: TRC side skirt splitters
