[humbucker]

hi all

this might be a catalyst for a how2, but im sourcing a gsi kit for my cdx and it suddenly dawned on me that im not exactly sure how it fits to the car! any advice from the experts on here would be appreciated!

thanks in advance!

bumpers are straight forward enough, its the door panel and side skirts that take the work.
You'll need the clips, a drill, some rivets and a rivet gun to do it right.

can you give me a bit more info on what to do? the bumpers grille etc will be fairly straightforward but the skirts and door panels etc are new territory for me, the elite has the skirts and spolier on already. what's involved with the boot spoiler, drilling through the boot? thanks in advance

essentially you measure where the mounting rivets should line up then drill and rivet... the skirts then clip on with a couple of self tapers in the ends

its simple enough but measure plenty of times and use some quality adhesive, they are all shaped anyway so you wont have the hassle of making them fit

hmmn... it might be simple but with absolutely no prior knowledge of this kind of thing i really dont know how to go about sticking the door panels and skirts on. any chance of a step by step if anyones got the time? really not sure what im doing with this one!! what kind of adhesive do i need? and which clips are required for which bit? and where can i get 'em?!?

cheers!

autovaux sold me the clips for the skirts... but I had a bodyshop fit mine (lazy! )

incidentally how much did you pay for your kit to be fitted by a bodyshop?

well i got all my clips and rivets and bits and bobs to get the kit on, but i just wondered if adding a turbo/gsi bumper (front or back) to the cav in place of the existing cdx bumper do i need any additional clips or brackets? is it a like for like fit just the shape of the bumper is different? noticed someone advertising rear bumper brackets for a turbo kit and wondered if this was any different to what i already have. i assumed i could just pop the turbo bumper on in place of the old cdx one?

how much were the side skirt clips?

As for fitment of the back bumper they are all the same under the kit so i would have thought they were all the same.
